Hi all
I just saw that qemu 2.12.0 was released and since 2.11.0 had a stupid
keyboard bug that always printed a capital "K" on Shift-6, and the
2.12.0 rc
releases fixed that, I created an update ticket and assigned itto me.
I hope that this ok. I will of course change the audio driver list, as
suggested by Xi Ruoyao, to support pulseaudio. My suggestion is to
still keep
alsa support alongside pulseaudio, is that ok with everyone?
OK with me. Just, if pulseaudio is needed for qemu, it should be
promoted to
recommended.
It is not, it is fully optional.
Well, I'm not sure what the conclusion of the other thread is:
if I understand correctly, using "--audio-drv-list=alsa" for qemu when
pulseaudio is running may result in a deadlock.
So , you suggested using "--audio-drv-list=alsa,pa", didn't you?
I guess this allows to choose between alsa and pulseaudio at runtime.
Yes, that seems to be the case. It is done via the env variable
QEMU_AUDIO_DRV, which can have either alsa or pa as value.
If you want, I can add this info to the page.
I have now build my qemu with --audio-drv-list=alsa,pa and it linked
against both alsa and pulseaudio.
Now I see you have only modified the command explanations in qemu,
but not the instructions themselves. In this case, pulseaudio is still
optional.
But if "--audio-drv-list=alsa,pa" is in the instructions,
then pulseaudio should be recommended, I think.
I would really not want to recommend pulseaudio as a dependency of qemu,
as I think that most people (including me) don't use qemu for sound
stuff anyway. But I might be wrong.
I usually don't care about sound in my vm's, just on my host system.
For the most part, I agree. I've never tried to use sound in qemu.
However, I think some users might want it. I'm OK with what is in the
book now, but I would be OK with changing alsa to optional and removing
the --audio-drv-list option from the commands. If we did that, the
option should still remain in Command Explanations.
