Lars: If you run gnome-volume-control (or select "Applications->Sound & Video-> Volume Control" from the men), you should be able to switch audio devices by going to "File->Change Device" in the menu. You should see a list of devices that are currently recognized.
For this to work, you probably need to rebuild GStreamer so that it builds with the plugins you need. For example, if you have installed OSS on your system, you would need to rebuild GStreamer so that the OSS GStreamer plugins are built and installed. To do this, I would recommend using the CBE and rebuild SUNWgnome-audio.spec and SUNWgnome-media.spec after installing OSS. Once OSS integrates with OpenSolaris, then this extra step will go away.
