Hi.

That looks like it's not opening a device. What backends did it configure 
with? OpenAL Soft has a Solaris-specific backend which should work, and AFAIK 
some Solaris systems also have OSS. If it built with either one of those, also 
make sure they're usable.

If it built with the Solaris backend, and its usable with other apps, there 
may be something wrong with OpenAL Soft's Solaris code. Unfortunately I can't 
directly test it since I don't have Solaris, but you're free to send patches 
to fix it.
