If you don't have a system with a ULI M1575 southbridge, you can ignore
this message.

Earlier today, I pushed 6839201 audio1575 desired for Solaris x86

This will enable x86 systems with the ULI M1575 southbridge or the Acer
audio5455 device to use their onboard audio devices.  The driver is
fully compliant with Boomer, and includes support for up to 5.1 surround
sound, if you have a capable AC'97 codec.

To find out if you have a supported device, look for "pci10b9,5455" in
prtconf.

To find out how many channels your AC'97 codec supports, just "cat
/dev/sndstat" (on build 115 or newer).
