Has anyone successfully gotten audio to work from
inside of a KVM VM?
Is there any special magick I need to do to get this happening?
kvm allows to forward both pci and usb devices into virtual machines.
For usb its limited to usb1 but for playing back 2 channels, that
should be enough and it can be configured without restarting the host
(afair).
Or you could do a minimal jack+jacknet setup on the host and send the
audio from guest to host via network.
Also, I understand that if I'm not running a RT
kernel on the host
machine, I won't get RT performance on the VM's, but I don't think I
need that for mixing. Are there any reasons why running say an Ingo
kernel inside a KVM box wouldn't work?
I don't see why it shouldn't work. But if your host doesn't provide
RT to the guest, why go the hazzle with the guest?
