Re: No sound - Solaris x86

Concerning detection of sunaudio on Solaris/x86, Goerzen
([email protected]) provided a configure workaround, and
then Hjort ([email protected]) wrote:

   Yes, apparently Solaris x86 is *-pc-solaris* and not *-sun-solaris*.
   Will update the configure.in file.

After adding the workaround so that sunaudio is selected, ogle dies on
initialization of audio:

   setinfo: Invalid argument
   FATAL[ogle_audio]: ogle_ao_init: 

corresponding to the code 

  /* set the audio format */
  if(ioctl(instance->fd, AUDIO_SETINFO, &info) == -1) {
    perror("setinfo");
    return -1;
  }

from ogle-0.9.2/libogleao/solaris_audio.c.  I tested with more than
one soundcard, one of which was an actual soundblaster 16.  Tests such
as "cat sound.au > /dev/audio" work.  Commenting the "return -1;"
causes the speakers to emit unintelligible noise.

This is Solaris 8 on x86.  I have not tested the most recent versions
on SPARC, but older versions worked properly.

Is there a fix?
