If you don't use audio on Solaris Nevada or OpenSolaris, you may ignore
this message.

The DDI for audio drivers has changed somewhat. This means that anyone
using private copies of audio drivers will need to get them updated for
the new DDI. Older drivers will generally fail to load due to link
dependencies not being met. Since the Audio DDI is consolidation
private, this should not affect most people.
Additionally, users may notice that the audio device does not have any
registered interrupts, or for some drivers (e.g. audiohd) has an
interrupt registered that doesn't seem to fire.
This is normal, and expected. The main audio processing is now handled
via the system timer at 100 Hz.
Further questions about this can be directed to
opensound-discuss at opensolaris.org.
