Intel HDA working under OpenSolaris

Another minor victory in my quest to get more familiar with OpenSolaris. I’ve upgraded to Nexenta unstable, and I noticed a package called sunwaudiohd being installed. That looked like a promising solution to the lack of audio on my OpenSolaris machine - the Intel HDA soundcard has never worked under any version I’ve used. Sadly, the mere presence of this driver didn’t seem to fix things (it’s never that simple). A little research confirmed that it was the right driver, but that this bug had been discovered....
