Dear Maintainer,
The virt-manager has in a VM configured via GUI no sound support. The VM is configured with the audio device ac97 and SPICE (see the XML config file).
In the log file of virt-manager the following entry when starting the VM is created.
virt-manager.log:
[Fr, 07 Dez 2012 16:36:25 virt-manager 7970] DEBUG (cli:83) Uncaught exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/console.py", line 518, in _channel_new_cb
self.audio = spice.Audio(self.spice_session)
RuntimeError: could not create SpiceAudio object
By the way, if I have the VM only with qemu-kvm start working the sound. Use the command:
kvm \
-name sidutest2 \
-net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=12:A1:00:12:02:09,model=virtio \
-net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap1 \
-drive if=virtio,file=./siduction-12.2.0-rc2-kde-amd64.img,media=disk,cache=unsafe \
-soundhw ac97 \
-m 3072 \
-pidfile /var/tmp/tap1_5900_sidutest2.img.pid \
-boot order=d \
-vga qxl \
-spice port=5900,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing \
-device virtio-serial \
-device virtserialport,chardev=spicechannel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0 \
-chardev spicevmc,id=spicechannel0,name=vdagent \
-daemonize \
spicec -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5900
Here is the XML config file in my virtual machine that has the problem with the lack of sound.

What can I do that gets the VM sound support? Is this a bug in virt-manager or a misconfiguration on my part?
