OS: Solaris 11 Express snv_151
Wine 1.3.27 (Compiled)
Tested App: World of Warcraft: Cataclysm patch 4.2: Rage of the Firelands.

You can resolve this ticket.

Solaris can use "-lumem" instead of malloc (older implementations) due to the
multithreaded/SMP design of the OS. So, you could patch for Solaris 10/11
(sunos5) to use '-lumem' in this case for better scalability. 

Sound for Wow on Solaris 10/11 is just dependent on if the contributing person
enabled sound or not in the contributed Wine package. 

Don't bother with the fancier methods if they are not default system libs.
