[Spice-devel] Getting involved with implementation of remote spice for 3D accelerated VMs

[Frediano Ziglio]

The patches for Virgl are working and require only tweaks. 
We wanted to have some working PoC for all next 3D software, that include 
GPU passtrough to make sure that the Virgl doesn't complicate 
the overall design. We plan to have these definitive PoCs in a couple of 
months. 

About video streaming acceleration for the client somebody are doing 
some stuff. Recent client versions are using gstreamer to handle decoding so 
potentially this could be a question of choosing the right plugins, test and 
package them correctly (this is more challenging for Windows for instance).
