IMHO libvirt is the wrong place to be doing this kind of thing. It should be done using SPICE or GTK, both of which have APIs (gtk-vnc & spice-gtk) which allow capturing of audio from the VM. Yeah, adding it to client side apps would also provide much of the same result. :) As Dan said, libvirt isn't the right place for this |
Description of problem: KVM can be instructed to save the audio output of a virtual machine, to a file: /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -audio-help However, libvirt does not yet support this. It would be useful to add support for this to libvirt, so people can save audio output for layer playback or analysis. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Checked libvirt 0.9.9, and it doesn't appear to support this yet.
