I think the main issue debian has with our spice use is that we require an old version for compatibility reasons, and debian does not want to ship this older version just for spice. > > They should disable audio completely if it's the > > case.

While it's sad that spice won't be able to use celt on debian, it's probably better than no spice support at all, at least this means things will work locally/on LAN. This indeed also means people evaluating SPICE on Debian for WAN use will have worse results than what they could have. The ideal solution would be to have support for Opus, I think Marc André and Alon had started to look into that, but that's not done yet :( Christophe
