There isn't one. Traffic would likely be light...

Sound is likely to be the same - all the drivers and underlying plumbing
come from illumos. OI may have more utilities and libraries to talk
to it (it might have pulseaudio to layer on top, I think) and some desktop
integration. Tribblix used to have the Xfce mixer applet, but that seems to
have been dropped by the Xfce project.

Never tried. I had this working on Solaris 10, but that shows how long ago
I last had need of it.

We used to have sdtaudioctl and mixerctl. For whatever limited manipulations
I need (and to be honest it's usually to mute stupid autoplaying things on
web
pages) then audioctl can be used.

The underlying sound system is quite sophisticated; we don't have a great
deal
that exposes that to the end user.
