I missed jkh's argument, but as far as I'm concerned, my first
choice for this audio init stuff would be:

* a SysV style script (and then having rc.shutdown call
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/* w/ $1==stop; but that's another thread).

* an rc.audio or rc.multimedia (this could perhaps contain some bt484
related things).

But if it goes into "the" rc.conf, that would mean that whenever it runs
at shutdown, it edits rc.conf; this isn't IMO a real great idea.  
Anything automated (even sysinstall) editing rc.conf in any way shape or
form makes me leery because it's so much more error prone.
