if you're running opensolaris 2009.06, i'd day you're running a very old version of opensolaris. In a month time, in march, a new version will be released, in the mean time, you can check what it should be like by running the dev version of opensolaris. The procedure to upgrade to dev is documented in [1] One of the many things you will get when you update to the dev version of opensolaris is a new sound subsystem which is much better than what you have now and more support. If you're not happy with the packages that exist in the dev opensolaris.org repository, there are others with more software available, as an example, you have the contrib repository [2]
