Bad-documented audio options: Explain them please
Posted: 28. Nov 2008, 18:51
Hello all
I'm new to VirtualBox and I'm running it on a Windows XP Host.
In the VirtualBox user manual, there is a little command refference guide at the beginning of the section 8, VBoxManage refference. For the audio options related to the "modifyvm" subcommand, it states:
[-audio none|null|dsound|solaudio|oss|coreaudio]
I haven't found explanations on how *all* these options work, neither at section 8.5.4, nor at section 3.7.4 of the user manual. I guess that "none" means no sound at all, and "oss" lelates to the Linux Open Sound System. How about the others?
Besides it, I'd like to know whether ac97 and sb16 are the only audio controlers supported for now, or the are other undocumented ones.
Many thanks
Cleverson
