IRIX is not readily available, nor has it ever been. Officially, one gets an 
entitlement to IRIX when one buys SGI hardware. SGI however has historically 
turned a blind eye to those few in the know that run IRIX and know where and 
how to get it.
With SGI's recent definitive demise, it looks like now it will be next to 
impossible to get IRIX anyway.

Lobby with the sound tools authors to at least help port to Solaris, if they 
don't want to adopt it as their main development platform.

For example, for the last two and a half years I've been lobbying by Matti 
Hamalainen to port xmms-sid plugin to Solaris, with limited success.

Sure it exists. It's to dump Linux and return once again to Solaris and adopt 
it again as the main OpenSource development platform!

The exuse "I don't have any Solaris machines to do development on" just does 
not hold water any more, if it ever did. Solaris is free-as-in-beer and there 
is absolutely no excuse to not install it on your PC at home.

I get this argument often, but it's a fallacy.
