[fedora-virt] Fedora 12 host and windowsXP guest - No Sound from guest

[Daniel Sanabria]

thanks Dor,

looking at the logs you seem to have a point:

LC_ALL=C PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M pc-0.11 -m 1024 -smp 1 -name winxp -uuid 8
8b53573-a3c1-3e12-8703-ea3fc8580493 -monitor
unix:/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/winxp.monitor,server,nowait -localtime -boot c
-drive file
=/var/lib/libvirt/images/winxp.img,if=ide,index=0,boot=on,format=raw -drive
file=/home/daniel/ISO/WINXP_SP2_PRO.iso,if=ide,media=c
drom,index=2 -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:62:66:ed,vlan=0,name=nic.0 -net
tap,fd=18,vlan=0,name=tap.0 -serial pty -parallel none -usb
 -usbdevice tablet -vnc 127.0.0.1:1 -k en-gb -vga cirrus -soundhw es1370

I noticed the QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none variable here which is how virt-manager is
trying to start the vm. Shouldn't that be QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa in the case of
Fedora 12? How can I change that value, so virt-manager starts the vm
correctly?
