5.1R system crash -- sound related

[Kenneth Culver]

With vchans disabled, you should only be able to use 1 sound producing app
at a time unless you're going through artsd or esd or something for all of
your sound. Did you reboot after you commented out those lines? (You don't
have to reboot really, you could just do sysctl -w hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=0

At that point, only 1 application at a time will be able to access the
soundcard at 1 time.
