Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # uname -r 2.6.32-118.el6.x86_64 # rpm -q qemu-kvm qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.148.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1./usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -soundhw ? Actual results: # /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -soundhw ? Valid sound card names (comma separated): pcspk PC speaker ac97 Intel 82801AA AC97 Audio es1370 ENSONIQ AudioPCI ES1370 -soundhw all will enable all of the above Expected results: intel-hda should in the list Additional info:
The patch doing the windup for '-soundhw hda' was not backported to RHEL, so the output is actually correct. Using the -device switch is the recommended way to create the device (libvirt does it this way). I don't see a strong reason why -soundhw should be supported in RHEL. If there is one please reopen and explain.
Hi, Gerd # /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm --help|grep sound -soundhw c1,... enable audio support and only specified sound cards (comma separated list) use -soundhw ? to get the list of supported cards use -soundhw all to enable all of them if the command is not supported , should it remove from help doc ?
I don't think this is worth the trouble. Invoking qemu-kvm directly isn't supported, only via management (i.e. libvirt). You are not supposed to see the help output in the first place ;)
