On my machine, a guest fails to boot if it has a sound card, but not
graphical device/display is configured, because pulseaudio fails to
initialize since it can't access $HOME.
A workaround is removing the audio device, however on ARM boards there
isn't any option to do that, so -nographic always fails.
Set QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none if no <graphics> are configured. Unfortunately
this has massive test suite fallout.
Add a qemu.conf parameter nographics_allow_host_audio, that if enabled
will pass through QEMU_AUDIO_DRV from sysconfig (similar to
vnc_allow_host_audio)
This patch teaches testutil how to read multi-line input files with
backspace-newline line continuation markers.
The patch also breaks up all the single-line arguments test input files into
multi-line files with lines shorter than 80 characters.
So far, readonly=on option is used when qemu supports -device. However,
there are qemu versions which support readonly option with -drive
although they don't have support for -device.
