That said, Solaris 8 is really really old, and I'd either try to upgrade it to Solaris 10 or if you can, Solaris 11. Solaris 10 had wider hardware support and a way more permissive license, due to being from the pre-Oracle-days. Back in 2010 i played with pulseaudio on Solaris, and managed to get atleast the server and client libraries to work. I don't remember if i ever tested the sound card support. Here's the quite ugly patch: http://www.acc.umu.se/~glance/pulseaudio-0.9.21-solaris10-i386.patch With this patch i manged to get it to build and work with Solaris 10 shipped gcc 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath). As the patch name tells you, that was on Solaris 10 x86, so there might be some more pitfalls for you if you're trying to do the same on sparc. //Anton - Who stopped to care about Solaris a long time ago -- Anton Lundin+46702-161604 ___ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss

So far, so good, this shouln't be a problem in general. > 1-I have downloaded pulseaudio-9.0.tar.xz from the WEB site > (Freedesktop) It would help if you provided the exact link, just so everybody knows which archive you downloaded. > and now I have this in my SUN Station and I don't find the file > called pulseaudio that you talk about in the first steps ! Here, too, it would help if you provided a link. Without that, it's impossible to tell which first steps you are talking about. Anyhow, here's what I'm guessing: * You downloaded the sourcecode. That means that in order to use it, you will have to compile it. Also, you will have to install all other libraries that pulseaudio depends on. Similarly, install them either by compiling or by using the system's package manager. * Compiling on the SUN Station may may be slightly different than compiling on Linux, which is the system you will find most information for. I would therefore suggest that you compile on Linux first, so that you have an idea of the steps involved. * Even easier would be to install binaries. Similarly, locating binaries for Linux is probably trivial, for the SUN Station it will probably be more difficult. Using the binaries, you could test the setup, which would make sure that the setup itself works. That said, it's unclear what exactly you are doing. Maybe using email is also not the best of all ideas. Maybe using IRC would be better to first discuss what you want and need and to form a plan. Good luck!
