[Bug 453453] Re: libvirt sometimes hangs when using pulseaudio

[Soren Hansen]

I haven't been able to reproduce it, unfortunately. I understand the
problem, though.

Simply put, the problem is mostly that since the VMs run as root rather
than your user, it's not completely straight forward how to deal with
access to the sound device.

The real fix would be to tunnel sound through VNC. However, gtk-vnc and
virt-manager do not support this yet (kvm does).

We could hack libvirt to ignore audio devices for VM's on
qemu:///system. That would certainly fix this bug, but would remove
sound support for people for whom it actually works.

Making virtinst not add sound devices will not fix existing VM's.

Suggestions?
