While I'm no expert, I'd say that "shelling out" is generally "a bad thing"(tm) but it's possibly good enough for now seeing as the Solaris audio backend will be rewritten over time. I think the long term approach for libcanberra on Solaris should be the same as on other platforms and that is to get Pulseaudio running and use that as the backend. PA backend will support many more features than a pure audio hardware backend such as positional sounds (e.g. clicking near the left of the screen will produce a sound that comes more out the left speakers etc.) and for sample caches for a more responsive setup. That would be my take/guess at what should be the best approach.
