By default, only DAC2. You need to set kernel hint hint.pcm.0.dac=0 (or
3, to swap the position) and reload the driver (or reboot, for
RELENG_5). From dmesg, you'll see something like this:
pcm0: <Creative SB AudioPCI CT4730/EV1938> port
0xe400-0xe41f,0xe800-0xe83f irq 18 at device 7.0 on pci0
pcm0: <SigmaTel STAC9704 AC97 Codec>
pcm0: <Playback: DAC1,DAC2 / Record: ADC>
^^^^^^^^^
Now to ensure both are working, simply disable vchan:
sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans=0
sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=0
.. and play any mp3/audio. Make sure you can run 2 sound apps
concurrently, which means the first one will use DAC1, and the second
the other. You may enable vchan back if you think you need more than 2
:)

Which patchset did you applied? *_052.diff or *_052slave.diff ?
