And answering myself after a bit more thought - the question is not just about "can we use the command line instead of envvars", but one step further of "once we are using the command line, what works in this release as opposed to added in later releases". So we still want introspection to land on the full QAPI types for audiodev, even if, for 4.0, we can't actually use QMP to change them. This means we at least need a QMP command that references the QAPI types (even if the command is named "x-audiodev-dummy" and always fails), so that the types at least make it into the introspection output, coupled with the query-qemu-features bit to state that even when we remove the hack of the x-audiodev-dummy command later, we can still use audiodev and scrape enough out of introspection for our needs. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3226 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
