Hmm, I think upstream does prioritize pa over alsa. Marking incomplete,
need to check that.

kvm: use PulseAudio instead of ALSA

Status in QEMU: Incomplete

Status in “kvm” package in Debian: Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: kvm
kvm in jaunty prefers to use OSS drivers rather than ALSA:
# dpkg -l | grep kvm
ii kvm 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu11 Full virtualization on i386
and amd64 hardwa
# kvm -audio-help | grep ^Name
Name: oss
Name: alsa
Name: sdl
Name: pa
Name: none
Name: wav
#
Because of that, once a virtual machine with working audio card starts, the kvm
grabs the audio card entirely for itself. Any subsequent operations on audio
card either from the host machine, or from the other audio-enabled virtual
machines lock up (apparently awaiting on on access to the audio card).
The bug is echo of the corresponding debian bug:
