[Users] XP Guest Sound issue - FIXED

I re-created the Centos 6.3 64-bit oVirt engine using the following repo URL locations which points to the latest versions
In the dreyou.org repo

baseurl=http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/vdsm/
baseurl=http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/ovirt-engine/

Using those repo file locations the  oVirt Engine /  backend  3.1.0-3.26.el6 was installed
That had a build date of  Fri 26 Oct 2012 06:54:09 AM EDT.  That was current enough to contain the bug fix.

The sound is working fine now. The Guest XP sound device is listed as Intel(r) 82801 AC'97 Audio Controller.

Thanks again for pointing out the bug!

I looked into the bug at http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/7451/   
That is exactly the problem I am having.   The rpm I am using is: 

ovirt-engine-backend-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch

Version     : 3.1.0
Release     : 3.19.el6
Build Date: Wed 15 Aug 2012 11:11:42 AM EDT Build Host: centos64-ov Source RPM: ovirt-engine-3.1.0-3.19.el6.src.rpm

The fix for the bug which was simply a typo in the soundcard device name use in the ovirt backend engine   (name corrected from act97 to ac97).  
The fix was submitted Aug 23 and  approved Aug 26 after the build date of the file I am using.   

I will simply wait for the next update to be present in the Centos6 oVirt repo at http://www1.dreyou.org/ovirt/ovirt-engine31/

Thanks for the response Andrew and Itamar

that's right - you should see ac97.

Looks like the issue was fixed here http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/7451/
