 I was just writing another reply to the PR with some additional
 information (mainly the dmesg messages and a workaround) but I will
 answer in reply to you here instead.
 
 Yesterday I came across kern/118546 and tried the suggestion of setting
 "dev.pcm.0.rec.vchans" to 0 which appears to have fixed the recording
 problem for me here on emu10k1. When set to 1 (the default) it does not
 record properly.
 
 I tried to adapt the patch from snd_ich in kern/118546 and in the
 commit that fixed the problem for that driver to emu10k1 but I am not
 very experienced in C yet so I did not have much luck.
 
 So for now, "sysctl dev.pcm.0.rec.vchans=0" allows recording to work
 again for me on an Audigy 2 Platinum with emu10k1 but a proper fix
 would be great too.
 
 Thanks!
