[libvirt-users] Audio pass through

[Hisao Taguchi]

Hi, Michael

How about trying to set

...
user='foobar'
group='foobar'
...
vnc_allow_host_audio = 1
...

in the "/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf" file.

I'm using fedora14 as a KVM host and
running Windows XP guest and
this solved the sound problem.

Please refer to the folloing for details.
