Yup, spice is very new but very actively developed upstream, so I expect it to be in the next (12.04) LTS. Unfortunately those patches are too new to be in any qemu-kvm upstream release, so they are unlikely to be in 11.04 (which is not an LTS). As soon as upstream pushes its next release, I will merge that, including spice support. > BTW: closing the SDL window will turn the VM off hard.

You can use the -no-quit option to disable closing the SDL window, but closing and re-opening it is not supported. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/635703 Title: No sound from virtual machines -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
