Andreas, Frank,
Thank you both for this valuable information. I saw the path and it
looks good and yes the older Distros would have a problem. I can say
that so far since the adaptation of the Intel HD audio in modern Linux
distros it appears to work fairly well. Looking forward to seeing the
improvements in the future.

The plan is to have HDA support for (newer) Linux guests, so that those
can take advantage of features the AC'97 emulation does not support.
AC'97 definitely will stay around, but we didn't make up our minds yet
whether (and when) HDA will become the standard sound device emulation
for newly created guests.
there is also the following problem: At the moment our "New VM" wizard
just asks if the Linux distribution is Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora or whatever.
It does not ask if this is an older distro or a newer one. Therefore we
need to assume some sane values working for older as well as for newer
distros. We want to rewrite that wizard to allow a better choice here
but this will not happen for 5.1.
Kind regards,
Frank
