Yay!
Yet another audio system. Just what we needed.
Well, at least it seems to support OSS so maybe we don't have to develop 
yet another sound backend.

So to summarize, on Solaris we have the following situation:

 * Libaudioio
   - Abandoned by Solaris
   - No package provided on the Solaris 10u5 DVD
   - No package provided on the Solaris 2008/07 Companion CD
   - Obsolete Wine driver, many '#if 0', commented out code
   = Sounds like we could remove the Wine backend

 * OSS
   - Supported by Boomer which is said to be the future of the day
   - No package is provided with the Solaris 10u5 DVD
   - No package provided on the Solaris 2008/07 Companion CD
   - Our OSS backend seems to work with Boomer. Are we missing out on a 
 lot of features?

 * ESound
   - Installed by default in Solaris 10u5
   - But not started by default?
   - wineesd may need some fixing to work right with it?

 * NAS
   - Not used for local sound anyway
   - No package provided on the Solaris 10u5 DVD
   - No package provided on the Solaris 2008/07 Companion CD

 * Jack
   - Not available on Solaris at all?

 * Coreaudio
   - Mac-specific so not relevant


Did I miss something?

Wineaudioio driver

2009-01-09 Thread Francois Gouget

Does anyone know how to get the libaudioio.h and libaudioio.so files 
needed by the wineaudioio driver?

This driver is supposed to specifically be for Solaris but I could not 
find either files on the Solaris 10u5 DVD, nor on the 200807 Solaris 10 
companion CD.

Has audioio been replaced by something else?

  Nouvelle version : les anciens bogues ont été remplacés par de nouveaux.

A couple of weeks ago there was a discussion in #winehackers about 
(open)solaris audio support. The discussion was started by two people who at 
the time were interested in updating wine's (open)solaris drivers. From what I 
remember it looked like the current wineaudioio driver is highly outdated and I 
believe the API has changed drastically. Those two guys said that Sun is 
working together with 4Front (from the commercial OSS) on some new audio system 
called 'Boomer' and which is also OSS compatible. I believe that our wineoss 
driver works fine. This page contains some more info and more links

At least on OpenSolaris, audio is broken, last I checked (couple
months ago). I had to install a manually compiled Esound (iirc) to get
sound to work. Though it would still fail unless the sound server was
started manually first...
