On solaris versions that use grub, modloading the driver is more obnoxious,
in that it causes a reboot to update the boot archive, because it touches
/etc/name_to_major.

You haven't tried the new version - have you? The new
version is pkg format and it's fully Solaris 10
compliant.
You're not going to like what I will write, but you've got some ways to go
before you can claim that you're fully Solaris 10 compliant.
First of all:
Adding OSS startup scripts

There should be no uninstall steps. The *proper* way to *remove*
software on UNIX is to use the software subsystem, in case of
Solaris, the `pkgrm` command.
Note that pkgrm just removes one package, and if you have multiple
packages or configurable sets, it's clumsy at

Please get some manners before posting!
I will not be drawn into a shouting match with someone who has no clue about

Anyway, back to the important question..why isn't
anybody talking about audio? (I don't care if it's
OSS drivers or Sun drivers or Tools.de drivers).
Audio is a multibillion dollar business - Apple,
Microsoft, Yahoo, Google and Cisco are all into audio
and minting money, why not Sun?

UX_ADMIN,
The reason why we need to add a startup script to RC
is because we need to guarantee that if there are
multiple audio devices, then they all startup in the
right order. Solaris doesn't guarantee the order in
which drivers are started by the system unlike
Linux.
The drivers
I'd like to propose an audio newsgroup where all
things audio related could be discussed.
Not a bad idea.
Open Sound System v4.0 is free for personal use and
we have recently released Solaris 10/11 support for
x86/amd64/sparc. The new OSS drivers provide full
OSS and SADA (devaudio) API
