Oh my.. are you sure it was not because of your hardware/speaker? Use
the patched kernel, sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans=10 , sysctl
hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=10 , see if that make any differences.

Note: Make sure you applying that patch to a *real clean* sources.
      rm -f /usr/src/sys/sys/soundcard.h
      rm -rf /usr/src/sys/modules/sound/sound /usr/src/sys/dev/sound
      cvsup
      apply the patch
      .. if you're not sure.
