[Qemu-devel] sound issue

[Rick Vernam]

I've spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out why this keeps happening:

$ export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=alsa
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel-kqemu -hda /home/rick/docs/.qemu/wxp1.qemu -m 
192 -net nic -net tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -localtime -snapshot -usbdevice 
tablet -soundhw es1370

alsa: Could not initialize ADC

alsa: Reason: Invalid argument
audio: Failed to create voice `es1370.adc'

I get no sound.
If I knew what these things meant, I might be able to figure this out...
Posting here is my last ditch effort - believe me, I have tried to avoid 
posting support questions in a dev. list, but am hoping for a bit of insight 
here...

almost forgot, linux host (gentoo), 2.6.17 kernel.

thanks
