So. I applied the patch and the error disappeared. But,
it feels like some glitch is still there. In the rare
situations when I would expect the error - when the
laptop has just booted and I have just kldloaded
snd_hda - instead of an error I get a 2-10 sec delay
when I start mpg123 before I hear any output. The
output starts from the beginning, i.e. nothing is lost,
there's just a delay.

A delay is much better than an error, as mpg123 does
not exit. Thanks! I'm ready to do further testing.
