Dear spice-developers,

recently the kvm list pointed me to spice, since for my task I had to have to 2 monitors from the VM available. spice seems to be the only way to do it (beside virtualbox).

I downloaded the 0.4.0 releasae, build all the stuff, and after some usual issues with package versions it all runs quite well. I even managed to configure a x-session only consisting of a full screened spiece-client for two monitors. Well actually I tried windows 7 64 bit as guest first, but realised its too early for that, so I went for 32bit.

The only issue I've is with sound, I just am not able to get it to work. The AC97 driver of windows 7 (I downloaded the one from realtek, as win7 doesn't seem to have a native one) just wont be able to get to "start" it. So why I'm writing to spice-devel instead of kvm: first im still confused about how sound should be handled, does it get through spicec already? Or is this planned for a later release and yet we're supposed to use qemus native sound support. The second is, I tried to configure another HW emulation, like some qemu/kvm posts tell people with ac97 driver problems to do, but the qemu ./configure --help in the vdesktop directory tells me there is only AC97 available, while traditionally there should be more options.

Gladly would appreciate your help, otherwise I like spice ;-)

Kind regards,
Axel
