[Qemu-devel] [PATCH make ALSA default on Linux

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH make ALSA default on Linux

[Jan Kiszka]

OSS is legacy on Linux, ALSA support of QEMU improved recently so that
it should work out-of-the-box. Let's make the native sound system of
Linux also QEMU's default on that platform. OSS can still be selected
and ALSA can be disabled when preferred.

Reasoning: Distros are expected to rather take care of ALSA issues than
OSS ones these days. E.g. on my SUSE 10.3, ALSA provides shared DSP
access while OSS does not.
