There is currently no expectation that Audio CDs will work on an emulated CD drive; as long as audio CDs aren't causing QEMU to crash or anything of the sort, this is wishlist and not a bug.
Still, I'll try to take a look later and see if there's an easy win here or not. I imagine we don't support many of the Audio CD commands that ATAPI drives need in order to service audio requests, but there may be some difficulty in the pass-through as well. ** Changed in: qemu Assignee: (unassigned) => John Snow (jnsnow) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1390520 Title: virtual machine fails to start with connected audio cd Status in QEMU: New Status in libvirt package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libvirt source package in Trusty: Confirmed Bug description: when connecting a data cd with a virtual machine (IDE CDROM 1), the virtual machine starts up and the data cd is accessable (for example to install software package or drivers), but connecting an audio cd the following error appears: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- cannot read header '/dev/sr0': Input/output error Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/details.py", line 2530, in _change_config_helper func(*args) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 850, in hotplug_storage_media self.attach_device(devobj) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 798, in attach_device self._backend.attachDevice(devxml) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 493, in attachDevice if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainAttachDevice() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: cannot read header '/dev/sr0': Input/output error ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 qemu: Installiert: 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.6 Installationskandidat: 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.6 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1390520/+subscriptions
