            Bug ID: 39442
           Summary: Using Spice required to avoid failure in
                    mmdevapi:capture
           Product: Wine-Testbot
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: fgouget at codeweavers.com
      Distribution: ---

The Windows 7+ VMs all use an ich6 virtual soundcard (they don't support any of
ac97, es1370 or sb16 ones).

But they have failures in mmdevapi:capture such as:

capture.c:586: Returned latency: 5.8050 ms
capture.c:178: Test failed: Position 375 expected 0
capture.c:186: Wait'ed position 375 pad 0 flags 1, amount of frames locked: 448
capture.c:228: Test failed: Position 1719 expected 823
[...]

It turns out that the way the VM is configured for remote access impacts the
result of the tests:
 * If configured for VNC then the tests fail as described, even if no client is
connected.
 * If configured for Spice access then the tests succeed, even if no client is
connected. And if a client is connected the sound is carried over with pretty
good reliability.

So the way one accesses the VM changes the behavior in the guest. That seems
wrong and I reported it to QEmu:

I have updated the w7pro64 configuration on 2015/09/25 and it now only has one
intermittent Master volume failure left in mmdevapi:capture. The change does
not seem to have negatively impacted the other tests.

So it seems the change can safely be propagated to the other Windows 7+ VMs.
There may be one issue though, which is that combining QXL with Spice causes
the Windows 10 VM to freeze very quickly. Hopefully that's specific to Windows
10.
