[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#445243: xen-utils-3.1: qemu-dm should be built with alsa support to avoid device locking

[Theo Cabrerizo Diem]

Package: xen-utils-3.1-1
Version: 3.1.0-2
Severity: wishlist
File: xen-utils-3.1

qemu-dm currently is built with OSS support. This occours /dev/dsp
locking once a HVM guest is started. If you have /dev/dsp already open
by other applications, sound won't work within guest VM, otherwise
qemu-dm will lock and won't be available to the host OS.

Would be nice to see qemu-dm built with alsa support by default. (--alsa
at build time)
