Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble regarding using the pipewire backend for libvirt. My
OS is GNU Guix with Wayland and pipewire running with wireplumber on a
user session. I have the following versions:
libvirt-9.10.0 (with pipewire enabled)
qemu-8.2.2 (with pipewire enabled)
libpipewire-1.0.3
I only modified the =<audio>= configuration in the xml file using =sudo
virsh edit win10= as follows:
<audio id='1' type='pipewire' runtimeDir='/run/user/1000'/>
I can confirm that pipewire is running and that I have pipewire sockets
in the directory specified. But when running the VM using virt-manager,
I get the following error:
Error starting domain: internal error: process exited while
connecting to monitor: 2024-09-17T05:54:03.785811Z qemu-system-x86_64:
Failed to initialize PW context

If I switch the audio backend back to =spice=, the VM will run but
there's no sound. I am not sure if this is a virt-manager problem or I
somehow misconfigured libvirt. How should I proceed about this problem?
