Hi, I'm using a KVM guest to stream audio using darkice to an icecast2 server on the same guest. The guest uses an emulated ES1370 sound card to capture the host's audio input (ASUS Xonar DX) using the ALSA backend. After 1 or 2 days, the qemu-kvm process locks up, using up 100% CPU, apparently spinning in audio/rate_template.h (See gdb session below). Do you have any advice on how to solve this problem? I haven't tried the -no-kvm-* switches, please advice if that would be useful in this case. Unfortunately it takes up to 2 days for the bug to happen, so trying all possible configurations is a bit time-consuming.
