Well, it is possible that the network based capture devices might work.

In any case, FFmpeg on Solaris, as I recall, usually required
using gmake (gnu make) rather than make (Solaris make).
I also seem to recall numerous issues over the years with
FFmpeg and Solaris, and you might want to check their
project archives/issue tracker to see what else is broken, or
requires workarounds.
