Sound status on VM?

[Paul Lambert]

Does sound now work with a VM?  I am using rawhide x86_64 for the host and
FE-11 x86 for the guest.  I also have a Windows XP VM.  The VM hardware
shows es1370.  The host sound plays mp3s using either Totem or Rhythmbox
just fine but no sound from either VM.

Thanks
Paul

We basically don't have a usable sound backend at the moment. The plan
is to tunnel sound over VNC:

For the Windows guest, you can try forwarding sound through RDP:

padsp rdesktop -r sound:local
