We can do the trivial replacement of QEMU_AUDIO_DRV with -audiodev without much difficulty - just a matter of tweaking the CLI generator and tests. The full support with XML configurability doesn't need to block us dropping use of QEMU_AUDIO_DRV. > Also: This is a first step only, there is more in the pipeline, where > you can assign sound cards to backends (simliar to -netdev).

Libvirt lacks proper support for the existing multi-seat features in QEMU. This audio stuff might be a good motivation to finally implement the full multi-seat feature set.
