You're going to have some real problems here.

Firstly, Solaris does not support OSS or ALSA; it has its own
audio I/O architecure and few Linux audio programs are likely
to support it.

Secondly, SUN ships its own drivers for the hardware it supports.
You are unlikely to be able to get Solaris drivers for any third 
party audio hardware.

However, if you were willing to run Linux on this machine and it
had PCI, then you would have drivers and OSS and ALSA.

Just my AUS $0.02.
