[Qemu-devel] Patches

[malc]

At http://www.boblycat.org/~malc/code/patches/qemu/ you will find
latest audio, gus/opl3 and retrace patches. Highlights of the release:

======================================================================
Audio (15_aqemu)

a. Major overhaul of whole audio subsystem
   1. Does no longer depend on host as a clock source
   2. Uses only one timer for all slave emulated cards
   3. A lot of bugs fixed
   4. Anecdotic evidence suggests that it noticably improves guest
      performance

b. DirectSound driver, DAC/ADC (-enable-dsound required when
   configuring)

c. More idiosyncratic aproach to partial buffer transfers made ALSA
   driver just as good (if not better) than OSS, latency is very good
   too (-enable-alsa required when configuring)

d. Two new command line options were added -soundhw and -audio-help
   Manual was updated to elaborate on them

I recommend anyone interested in audio (especially Windows and MacOS X
users) to give it a try.

======================================================================
GUS/OPL3 (5_aog_qemu)

a. Updated for 15_aqemu

======================================================================
Retrace (3_rqemu)

a. Some sort of documentation added
b. Small bug fix preventing certain games to run with the patch
   applied but not activated (Zephiris)

This one is required for some DOS games/demos.

Thank you
    Zephiris
