snd_via8233 has 5 hardware playback channels and 1 record channel, so
for playback, you almost don't need any vchan at all. Things will
matter for recording, well, if you need more that 1 recording apps
running. Situations are bit different for other drivers due to total
play/rec channels limit, hence the need for vchan (or vrec, for
record).
