Hello Jeff, and all the fellow UML developers. I think this is the first time we directly communicate. First of all we wish to thank you for your terrific work on UML, from which our project, Marionnet, is heavily dependent.
We would like to add a "virtual phone" device to Marionnet, implemented on a UML virtual machine running Ekiga or Linphone. We have several problems in using sound daemons with both Ekiga and Linphone, so instead of having a sound daemon on the host machine, which would be the simplest solution, we are essentially forced to use host audio relaying. That feature works very well, but as far as I can understand from the source and from my tests, it's limited to OSS. Recent versions of ALSA, by contrast, are better supported by modern software such as Ekiga and easily allow multiplexing. We wouldn't strictly need multiplexing on each single virtual machine, but at least more than one virtual machine at a time would need to be able to use the same host sound device, both for input and for output. Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment. Is ALSA relaying hard to implement in UML? We honestly don't know that part of the kernel, and we were wondering whether some other solution may be simpler. Is there hope to have ALSA support in UML in the future?
