After installation of qemu-kvm package from karmic (version 0.11.0~rc2-0ubuntu9) the situation is better, as order of the audio driver has changed (I am not sure that it matters): # kvm -audio-help | grep ^Name Name: alsa Name: pa Name: oss Name: sdl Name: none Name: wav #
I hear audio on host machine (pulseaudio is running). Any operations on audio card from audio-enabled virtual machines lock up (apparently awaiting on on access to the audio card). KVM uses pulseaudio: # lsof | grep kvm | grep puls lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/gavri/.gvfs Output information may be incomplete. kvm 5221 root mem REG 8,1 389688 12067104 /usr/lib/libpulse.so.0.7.1 kvm 5221 root mem REG 8,1 72992 12067250 /usr/lib/libpulse-simple.so.0.0.2 kvm 5231 root mem REG 8,1 389688 12067104 /usr/lib/libpulse.so.0.7.1 kvm 5231 root mem REG 8,1 72992 12067250 /usr/lib/libpulse-simple.so.0.0.2 kvm 7921 root mem REG 8,1 389688 12067104 /usr/lib/libpulse.so.0.7.1 kvm 7921 root mem REG 8,1 72992 12067250 /usr/lib/libpulse-simple.so.0.0.2 # # ps awx | grep 7921 7921 ?
