Comment 5 for bug 304649

I managed to get kvm to play over pulseaudio and it doing a real much better job than alsa oss and sdl.

apt-get source kvm

Change to the debian/patches folder

Edit: reenable_audio_drivers.patch

Put the pa before oss alsa sdl.

Edit: debian/control and modify the file like this:

[...]
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.0.17ubuntu2), pkg-config, quilt (>= 0.40), autotools-dev,
 bzip2, uuid-dev, zlib1g-dev, libsdl1.2-dev, libpulse-dev, libasound2-dev, libgnutls-dev,

 sysv-rc (>= 2.86.ds1-14.1ubuntu2), libx11-dev

I have put libpulse-dev in this block as shown above.

Simply rebuild the package. I have done this with pbuilder. Using pdebuild --use-pdebuild-internal

Install new package (Mine is amd64) with dpkg -i kvm_83+dfsg-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

After this your kvm is doing fine with pulse. So please devs! compile kvm with pa, as it is really simple!
