Feature request: support for virtio-snd (paravirtualized sound device)

[volkertb]

Cool! An alternative for QEMU with KVM support! 🙂

I have a feature request for mvisor:

Would you consider adding support for virtio-snd? The Linux kernel has had a guest driver for this VirtIO device for 2 years (since kernel 5.13), but until this day, QEMU has not yet delivered host support for it.

It would be nice to have at least one open-source hypervisor that could make use of it.

Thanks for considering!

Thank you for your interest in mvisor.😊

Currently, our team is occupied with several other priorities, which might delay the implementation of new features.
If you're interested and willing, we would greatly appreciate if you could attempt to submit a merge request for the virtio-snd feature. You can refer to the implementation of other virtio devices from /devices/virtio, like virtio-fs as a guide.

I'd like to implement the virtio-snd driver if only virtio-win has implemented a guest driver for it.
