some 8 years ago this patch was sent to qemu-devel: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-06/msg05333.html "[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 7/7] Add ALSA ioctls"
I wonder why it was rejected, may be as part of series? Right now I use OSS Proxy Daemon providing oss and ALSA output at the same time, so qemu-i386 /usr/bin/mplayer -ao oss still works, but this is recent addition to my system and having normal ALSA output for mplayer and co will be useful for me, at least. I can try to reapply it to current git. But it will be sad if it was rejected due to some deeper reasons I do not understand (for example I only recently noted that qemu plugins basically only for observation, not for altering qemu internals.) Any comments, memories on this functionality? PS: please add me to cc, I am not subscribed to qemu-devel (only watch it via web-interface)
