The point of this patchset is to kill the overhead if possible, i.e. try
to pass down the volume the guest asked for all the way down to the
hosts's audio hardware.

This patchset starts with spice and pulse, adding support to other audio
backends (oss, alsa, windows, ...) shouldn't be hard, mixemu shouldn't
be used in the common case then.

I think we should remove the mixemu configure option.  It makes code
bitrot.  Patch #4 proves that.  If you want to keep it because of the
overhead or other reasons I'd suggest to make it a runtime option.

cheers,
  Gerd
