Did you look here?:

The Sparc audio subsystems don't seem to be in a very good state right now.
The version in the 2.2 kernel doesn't respond to ioctls in the way that
most Linux programs expect, so most of them break.

I'm told this has all been fixed in the 2.3 kernel series, but I have yet
to get a functioning 2.3 series kernel working on Sparc.
