I am just dreaming,
You can do that, you just need to build in all the network and sound drivers (and pick which driver in the case of conflicts)
There isn't such a thing as a 'generic' network or sound card. For video there is 'VGA video' which is used by default on x86 systems, but even that's a driver that could be disabled.
