Description
DEFAULT_CDROM_DEVICE=/vol/dev/aliases/cdrom0 is obsolete for (Open)Solaris.
Actually you should set DEFAULT_CDROM_DEVICE=/cdrom/cdrom0.
It's because now (Open)Solaris uses HAL instead of vold daemon, so logical
device names for removable media under the /vol directory, such as
/vol/dev/aliases/..., are no longer provided. It's official information.
You can check it on the Sun Docs site:

Here are error messages on my OpenSolaris box when I try to play DVD:

Below are details about my OpenSolaris version. Please note that
it's the latest OpenSolaris 2009.06:

I don't think dropping support for older Solaris systems is a good solution. Please try to come up with something backwards-compatible.

Ups! I didn't think about it :D But I'm afraid that my experiences with
autotools is not sufficient... Probably configure script should do testing
whether file /vol/dev/aliases/cdrom0 exists for SunOS platform. If not,
then it should set DEFAULT_CDROM_DEVICE=/cdrom/cdrom0. Am I right? :)

Luckily, we do not use auto*.

Rather, it should test for the new standard and fall back on the old one. Have a look at configure around line 5760. If you know a minimal bit of shell programming, you should be able to figure it out. I do not have a Solaris system, so I cannot do this myself.

Thanks for the hint, Diego! I'll try to do it.

The new patch is ready! I hope it's OK :)

Thank you very much!
BTW, I was thinking about very similar patch too, but finally
I chose version with "if ... else ... fi", because it's more
easy to understand :)

There is no way to understand MPlayer's configure if you are unfamiliar with &&
and constructs.

Diego, I'm so sorry for confusing, but I have to reopen that bug.
I've just noticed that my patch works well only if I have a disk in
a CD/DVD drive :D It's because /cdrom/cdrom0 symlink is created
dynamically when OpenSolaris user inserts a disk.
So we need to check whether volfs file system exists on building host.
Maybe we should test only /vol/dev/aliases/ directory? I'm not sure,
because I don't have Solaris system. I only use OpenSolaris. But I can
ask more advanced Polish Solaris users.

More experienced Solaris users say that's better to check system version. For Solaris 5.10 and older we still can set DEFAULT_CDROM_DEVICE=/vol/dev/aliases/cdrom0. But for the latest Solaris 5.11 and also OpenSolaris we should set DEFAULT_CDROM_DEVICE=/cdrom/cdrom0. Please look at the newest patch of mine.
