[Bug 591489] Re: QEMU_AUDIO_DRV set to none by libvirtd in Lucid

[Tristan Schmelcher]

I don't think that would improve things as much as one would expect. I
think most people use virt-manager with VMs in the root QEMU instance
rather than the per-user "QEMU Usermode" one (because it doesn't work
well, as per bug 521428), so the VM process wouldn't be able to output
any sound because it runs as root and won't have access to the user's
PulseAudio process. So for sound to work, the user needs to either use
ALSA or use the "QEMU Usermode" domain. Neither option is very
attractive (though if virt-manager worked better with QEMU Usermode then
that would be a viable option).
