| | "The KVM based virtualization in RHEL-5.4 is not nearly so far behind |
| | Fedora as you might think. The {{package|libvirt}} mgmt stack in RHEL-5.4 was |
| | rebased to be near parity with [[Releases/11|Fedora 11]], and KVM in RHEL-5.4 is |
| | also pretty close to that using what's best described as a hybrid of |
| | kvm-83 and kvm-84." |

| ==== Guest Sound Over VNC ====
| |
| [[DaveAllan|Dave Allan]]
| |
| noticed<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-September/msg00494.html</ref>
| |
| "when a KVM guest created with virt-manager is running on F10, sound on the
| |
| physical host stops working. When all VMs are shutdown, sound starts working
| |
| again. Removing the <sound> tag from the VM XML allows sound to work while the
| |
| VM is booted." and suggested disabling sound in guests by default.

| |
| explained<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-September/msg00499.html</ref>
| |
| "It is complicated :-) In Fedora >= 11 we currently disable all use of
| |
| sound cards, but this upsets people who want sound ;-P I'm working
| |
| on a new version of the patch which sets up audio-over-VNC<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtVNCResourceTunnel</ref>, while for
| |
| SDL allows the host audio backend to be used & configured.
| |
| I still need to finish my GTK-VNC patches to do the client end of
| |
| audio over VNC, then it'll all play correctly with desktop audio
| |
| services via gstreamer/pulseaudio."
