For the problem {rho}{sub t}+({rho}u){sub x}=0, ({rho}u){sub t}+({rho}u{sup 2}+p({rho})){sub x}=0, ({rho},u)|{sub t=0,x<0}=({rho}{sub -},u{sub -}), ({rho},u)|{sub t=0,x>0}=({rho}{sub +},u{sub +}) one shows the existence and uniqueness of a solution obtainable as a limit as {epsilon} tends to zero of the bounded self-similar solutions of the regularized problem with additional viscosity term {epsilon}tu{sub xx}, {epsilon}>0, in the second equation. The structure of the solutions is described in detail, in particular, when they contain vacuum states.
