This isn't a known problem AFAIK, but having just built a new machine
with a via motherboard I'm experiencing two problems:

1) skipping.

2) kldload'ing the driver on -stable does not attach the device
channels.  Having 'device pcm' in the kernel config does.  You may
want to try this.  Haven't got as far as -current yet

will investigate further
