There's no need in getting the GUI tools merged into Gnome. The core
of polypaudio is written in plain C, and that is all that needs to be
merged. See the GUI tools as an add-on value, for those who need it.

Yes, I am aware of that. polypaudio uses the autotools for
building. Minor porting issues and a new sound driver module should be
enough to fix it to work on Solaris.
I've not done this porting myself since I don't have access to
Solaris machines. I am looking for someone who's willing to help out
with that...
