After the patch:

#dmesg | grep pcm

pcm0: <VIA VT8237> port 0xeb00-0xebff irq 22 at device 17.5 on pci0
pcm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
pcm0: <VIA Technologies AD1888 AC97 Codec


#pciconf -lv

pcm0 at pci0:17:5: class=0x040100 card=0x70611462 chip=0x30591106 rev=0x60 
hdr=0x00
     vendor   = 'VIA Technologies Inc'
     device   = 'VT8233/33A/8235/8237 AC97 Enhanced Audio Controller'
     class    = multimedia
     subclass = audio

#mixer

Mixer vol      is currently set to  75:75
Mixer pcm      is currently set to  75:75
