Hi!
I encountered the following bug with the latest version of QEMU. I use windows host and start qemu with the following command line: qemu-system-i386.exe -soundhw ac97 -snapshot -hda disk.qcow2 -net none Guest system is Windows XP 32-bit. It founds new hardware (including audio controller) and I start playing mp3 file. After seconds of playing qemu fails with an exception. I tried to bisect between 2.7 and 2.8, but bug is not stable. It manifested itself at commits "68701de1362b29fd6941a2021e9393ddbe60edd8" and "6a928d25b6d8bc3729c3d28326c6db13b9481059". Pavel Dovgalyuk
