"The KVM based virtualization in RHEL-5.4 is not nearly so far behind
Fedora as you might think. The {{package|libvirt}} mgmt stack in RHEL-5.4 was
rebased to be near parity with [[Releases/11|Fedora 11]], and KVM in RHEL-5.4 is
also pretty close to that using what's best described as a hybrid of
kvm-83 and kvm-84."

"when a KVM guest created with virt-manager is running on F10, sound on the
physical host stops working. When all VMs are shutdown, sound starts working
again. Removing the <sound> tag from the VM XML allows sound to work while the
VM is booted." and suggested disabling sound in guests by default.

"It is complicated :-)  In Fedora &gt;= 11 we currently disable all use of
sound cards, but this upsets people who want sound ;-P  I'm working
on a new version of the patch which sets up audio-over-VNC<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtVNCResourceTunnel</ref>, while for
SDL allows the host audio backend to be used & configured.
I still need to finish my GTK-VNC patches to do the client end of
audio over VNC, then it'll all play correctly with desktop audio
services via gstreamer/pulseaudio."

RHEL and Fedora Virtualization Feature Parity

Robert Day wondered how the virtualization features[1] of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 compared to Fedora 12.

Daniel Berrange explained[2] "The KVM based virtualization in RHEL-5.4 is not nearly so far behind Fedora as you might think. The Package-x-generic-16.pnglibvirt mgmt stack in RHEL-5.4 was rebased to be near parity with Fedora 11, and KVM in RHEL-5.4 is also pretty close to that using what's best described as a hybrid of kvm-83 and kvm-84."
