Thanks for the links, that's very interesting. It seems that some people do not have a complete clear understanding of how OSS and JACK are interacting (the discussion about porting Ardour for instance...). Basically jackdmp is now the code base for the future jack2 version (http://trac.jackaudio.org/) and having it running on Solaris will definitively help getting more heavy audio applications be ported on the platform.
