Yes. Either that (read the handbook) or man 5 loader.conf  --- or both.

You have to add something like
snd_driver_load=YES
to /boot/loader.conf for it to be run everytime you boot.

That is what I did. I added options pcm to my kernel config file, 
which requires building a kernel, but why do it if the loader.conf 
addition works :).

That is device  pcm and not options.

Never tried it that way. I have a directory called /cdrom and all I do 
is mount /cdrom. You can't mount audio cds. You simply play them.

Some of the ports tell you to link /dev/acd0c to /dev/cdrom and chmod it 
to something like 744. I use xmcd or kscd to play my audiio cds but 
usually configure them to use acd0c.
