Thanks Cole, with your comments things are starting to make a bit more of sense to me.
So I now see 2 options: 1. start qemu with the user account which will potentially mean to stop using virt-manager 2. Install/compile the gtk-vnc version that support the audio extension (only if it's already available) Could you provide some guidance on how to approach any of these options? i.e. How can I start qemu and the guest manually without using virt-manager? or is there gtk-vnc version available that supports the audio extension?
