Public bug reported: qemu uses the obsolete /dev/dsp sound API by default. Among other problems, this prevents sharing of the soundcard without having to use a sound server. No program in a modern distro should still be using this API, it should use ALSA.
It seems to have some ALSA support, but it's not clear how to enable it, or why it's not the default: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# strings /usr/bin/qemu | grep dsp warning: dsp_read %#x error /dev/dsp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# strings /usr/bin/qemu | grep alsa alsa ALSA http://www.alsa-project.org alsa_set_threshold alsa_open alsa_init_out alsa_init_in [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ldd /usr/bin/qemu | grep asound libasound.so.2 => /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 (0xb7ea9000) ** Affects: qemu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- qemu uses /dev/dsp https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231998 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
