Hi Shreyansh, Gerd, and Laurent, The last virtio-sound RFC was sent in February last year. It was a spare time project. Understandably it's hard to complete the whole thing on weekends, evenings, etc. So I wanted to suggest relaunching the virtio-sound effort as a Google Summer of Code project.
Google Summer of Code is a 12-week full-time remote work internship. The intern would be co-mentored by some (or all) of us. The project goal would be to merge virtio-sound with support for both playback and capture. Advanced features for multi-channel audio, etc can be stretch goals. I haven't looked in detail at the patches from February 2022, so I don't know the exact state and whether there is enough work remaining for a 12-week internship. What do you think? Stefan
