We are not sure Open Solaris customers are necessarily Oracle's customers.
Oracle wants Solaris to push its databases. OpenSolaris community wants
an alternative to Linux and FreeBSD. Oracle becomes a client of the
OpenSolaris community, just like IBM and Redhat became clients of the
Linux
Someone from the community needs to step up and become the Linus Torvalds of
OpenSolaris. Someone with good engineering skills - someone who has written a
butt load of code for Solaris.
Candidates? Garrett, Dana Myers, Dan Mick, Jorg, Shawn, Dennis, Alan
On the other hand, someone with a

Oracle, has left the company

I'd rather use IPS, but the only IPS version I know
of is the one in contrib, and it's fairly outdated.
Also, what about the 8788 chipset? Is there
anywhere I can find a list of supported devices?
I guess this means that opensolaris is incompatible
with OSS from this point on, unless
You should try Open Sound from http://www.opensound.com/download.cgi and see if
these drivers fix the problem.if they do then we know what the problem is.

Because the underlying audio APIs of Solaris (OSS and
SunAudio) are not nearly as powerful as ALSA many of
the niftier features I am currently working on will
most likely not be available on Solaris anytime soon,
though.
Why don't you tell us about those ALSA features?. Just saying powerful
Here's a list of features I pulled off Pulse Audio's website:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PulseAudio
The main PulseAudio features include:
* Per-application volume controls [1]
OSS already does that.
* An extensible plugin architecture with support for loadable modules.

Is there any way to get Solaris on this machine?

I have spoken with Sanjay Pandit and he told me about BOSUG and I would be very
honored and happy to talk about audio and Open Sound with the BOSUG. Kindly

After much deliberation - we're going with CDDL for BSD. I don't know why
OpenBSD can't work with CDDL since FreeBSD and NetBSD can.

Thanks for the warm reception to Open Sound. We really are looking forward to
working with the community and getting the community to start looking at audio
on Solaris in a serious way.

I find it odd that none of you are talking about subsystem APIs that make
Linux, well Linux.
Let's talk APIs
- Audio - we're offering Open Sound System - this should immediately fix all
Linux audio issues - we can also provide Jack API support where ALSA is needed.
- Video - what's the status
Now, y'all boys realize what this leads to. Simon

Someone should sue Adobe for anticompetitive monopolistic behavior.

One more thing that should be discussed is mouse support ala Linux/BSD's gpm
Now one thing that would totally rock is the ability to cut from a VC and paste
in an Xterm - Linux/BSD don't support this functionality.

Not a peep from anybody on Virtual consoles!
This is not a good sign of open source in action for Solaris.

What's the sound chip and what's the app?.
Did you try XMMS in Open Sound System plugin mode?
Sometimes, a reboot may help because if the audio chip was initialized by a
different driver then it could be in a state OSS doesn't recognize as
baseline.
