anyone have any recomendations??
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.
