Which audio hardware?
What does "cat /dev/sndstat" report?

Try to get a stack backtrace for the hanging esdplay process,
using "pstack PID", where PID is the process id of the hanging
esdplay process.

Could this be similar to bug 6836911 "audio810: audioplay hangs"
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6836911 ?


>From a csh / tcsh shell, try

     repeat 20 audioplay /usr/demo/SOUND/sounds/touchtone.0.au

Does that play the touchtone clip twenty times?
Or does it hang in audioplay sometimes?
