That said, Solaris 8 is really really old, and I'd either try to upgrade it to Solaris 10 or if you can, Solaris 11. Solaris 10 had wider hardware support and a way more permissive license, due to being from the pre-Oracle-days. Back in 2010 i played with pulseaudio on Solaris, and managed to get atleast the server and client libraries to work. I don't remember if i ever tested the sound card support. Here's the quite ugly patch: http://www.acc.umu.se/~glance/pulseaudio-0.9.21-solaris10-i386.patch With this patch i manged to get it to build and work with Solaris 10 shipped gcc 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath). As the patch name tells you, that was on Solaris 10 x86, so there might be some more pitfalls for you if you're trying to do the same on sparc. //Anton - Who stopped to care about Solaris a long time ago -- Anton Lundin +46702-161604
