[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1295587] Re: Temporal freeze and slowdown while using emulated sb16

[alvarez]

** Description changed:

  I have been carrying around this bug since previous versions and on
  different machines: When I use the -soundhw sb16 option, while playing
  any sound on the virtual machine it temporally freezes the emulated
  machine and loops the last bit of such sound effect for 1-2 minutes,
  then goes back to normal speed (until a new sound is played).
  
  Console shows:
  
   sb16: warning: command 0xf9,1 is not truly understood yet
   sb16: warning: command 0xf9,1 is not truly understood yet
  (...)
  main-loop: WARNING: I/O thread spun for 1000 iterations
  
  -One of my emulated machines is Windows 3.11: I managed to overrun this
  bug by switching from the local 1.5 version of the sound blaster driver
  to the 1.0, although since I updated qemu it freezes that machine, so I
  can't test if it still works.
  
  I am using the 1.7.90 version, but I suffered this bug for over one year
+ (confirmed in version 2.0.0-rc0 too)
  
  this bug happens anytime I use the -soundhw sb16 switch, but the full
  command I am using in this specific case is:
  
  qemu-system-i386 -localtime -cpu pentium -m 32 -display sdl -vga cirrus
  -hda c.img -cdrom win95stuff.iso -net nic,model=ne2k_pci -net user
  -soundhw sb16
