Good news: no panic so far.

Bad news: sound stopped working after some time (Chances are that the
system would have panicked on the unpatched kernel at the same time)

/dev/dsp: Operation not supported by device

I'm not sure why this happened.

I tried to increase vchans to 5 and got this on printed
cnt 4, newcnt 1, busy 2

However, I get same message when I try to play anything.
