Well, what cipset does your card have ?
I have a Gigabyte GA-7VT600L KT600/8237 with ALC655 and I'm using:
itetcu@it> /root/bin [22:17:25] 0
# kldstat | grep snd
2 1 0xc09e0000 5d2c snd_via8233.ko
3 2 0xc09e6000 1e58c snd_pcm.ko
which work usually ok without vchans at least for playback (I haven't
tried anything else).
