Yes, that's probably what happened.

Yes, this could be a GStreamer bug.  I would recommend testing it by
running gst-launch directly.  The following pipeline should play a
WAV file on Solaris:

gst-launch filesrc location=/path/to/file.wav ! wavparse ! audioconvert
   ! sunaudiosink

Note the gst-launch pipe characters are exclamation marks.

Does this work?  If not, you could try adding the "--gst-debug-level=3"
option to gst-launch and see if the debug output is helpful.  Note you
can change the "3" to a lower or higher number to get less or more
verbose messages.

I would also test with a few different WAV files, from different
sources just to verify that it isn't a problem in a WAV file itself.
