Hi Alex:

The instructions for 2009.06 are at 
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/status/accessibility/AccessibleLiveCd/. 
 Can you please point me to the instructions you are using for 2008.11? 
 I'd like to make sure they at least point to the 2009.06 set.

VirtualBox is a struggle when it comes to audio support.  Some people 
have managed to get it working OK (it's on my long list of many things 
to do).  You might be interested in this thread:
