Sorry for RTFM-style answer, but please read pcm(4) manpage :). Quote:

dev.pcm.%d.[play|rec].vchans
            The current number of VCHANs allocated
            per device.  This can be set to preal-
            locate a certain number of VCHANs.
            Setting this value to ``0'' will dis-
            able VCHANs for this device.

20061126 entry in /usr/src/UPDATING also mentions this change.


HTH,
