VirtualBox on Solaris hosts works well, but for audio you only get
playback, not record. This is a limitation in the VirtualBox software,
and I believe the team is looking at fixing it. (On a system with
OpenSolaris b115 or newer they can make use of the same OSS APIs that
they use on Linux, which probably means that the sound support can be
much better than it was going forward.)
Note also that OpenSolaris *guests* after build 115 work *much* better
(for audio at least) than earlier revisions of Solaris. (This is
because, I believe, that the changes in Boomer mean that we bypass the
problematic sample rate conversion logic in Virtual Box.)

Although under OpenSolaris I appears to have full driver support and so forth nothing
"really" works from mplayer to of course wine..
No idea about mplayer, but very few things seem to run successfully
under Wine -- on OpenSolaris or Linux. I've long since given up on it,
and I'm now using VirtualBox. It has the downside that you'll need to
have a real copy of Windows to use it, but the upside that it "just
works," even with complicated applications.

err:iphlpapi:getRouteTable unimplemented!
Not sure about the rest of it, but that part looks like an incorrect
port of a Linux application to OpenSolaris: there's no such thing as
/proc/net/route on OpenSolaris. The application needs to be recoded to
use the inet/mib2.h interfaces instead.
