I recently installed OpenSolaris 2008.05 and nearly everything works... except
for sound. I installed OSS, and was treated to insanely loud reverb. ossxmix
took care of that just fine, and an initial osstest resulted in sound! Nothing
else gave sound though. After a reboot, osstest fails with the following:
Sound subsystem and version: OSS 4.0 (b1015/200805130609) (0x00040003)
Platform: SunOS/i86pc 5.11 snv_86

The device is busy. There is some other application
using it.

ossinfo gives the following results:

Finally, I would post the results of ossdetect -v but it crashes (and brings
OpenSolaris down with it!) every time when it gets to vmix. I have to become
root and run svcadm clear system/boot-archive upon startup. At first I thought
it was a fluke, but two system crashes later I think this is a bug in oss
perhaps? At any rate the Unknown codec line appears to be for AD1984A, are
there not drivers for this device? I'm pretty new to Solaris, so if I'm missing
something simple please be gentle. Thanks for any help you can give!
