[Spice-devel] spice-html5 and raw PCM playback

I'm afraid that is the reality; the Media Source API is pretty limited
in the codecs that it supports, and raw is very definitely not one of them.

You don't say what version of qemu you're using.  You would need to be
using spice server 0.12.5 (or from git) and a qemu of roughly the same
vintage.

You also need to be sure that your client supports Opus (the server
chooses least common denominator).  I don't know the state of the
Ubuntu, but I believe an 0.12.5 spicec vintage should work.  With that
said, spicec is deprecated, and you really should use spicy or
remote-viewer.  For that, you need a libspice-client-gtk that is build
from a spice-gtk source package >= 0.23.

Cheers,
