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 From what I remember it looked like the current wineaudioio driver is highly outdated and I believe the API has changed drastically.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 http://opensolaris.org/os/project/opensound/.

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...
