#1908 obsolete VirtualBox mute on alsa/dmix configuration Clemens Fruhwirth
Description

dmix is an alsa plugin for user space sound stream mixing. The problem is that when the "default" alsa audio device is routed through dmix, then applications that try to open "default" for recording fail as dmix is only an output plugin. In general, the trick is to set the input device to something besides from "default" for these applications ("null"/"hw:0,0" is an option). This is possible with VirtualBox by setting the VBOX_ALSA_ADC_DEV=".." variable.

First suggestion: Replacing the error message

00:00:08.982 ALSA: Failed to open 'default' as ADC

with something like

00:00:08.982 ALSA: Failed to open 'default' as ADC, set VBOX_ALSA_ADC_DEV environment variable.

in alsaaudio.c. I had to read "audio_process_options/audio_get_conf_in" in audio.c closely to understand what the code is actually doing.

Second suggestion: If the input device is unavailable, complain but don't go mute completely. I presume the user rarely cares about a working input stream but will most certainly care about a working output stream. The strategy for alsaaudio.c in alsa_init_in could be: call alsa_open for a second time but with "null" set as conf.pcm_name_in.

#1909 wontfix Allow mounting host folders as guest disks Petr Dvorak
Description

Hi!

I am a VB newbie, so please don't be mad at me if this RFE is totally stupid or worse - a duplicate (I tried to search in your database for similar report, with no success).

I would like to see following feature: Allow VB users to mount a host folder as a guest HDD. Simply, you would go to the dialog where you would select a folder from the host PC and it would be detected by the quest OS as a newly connected hard drive...

I believe this feature would make file sharing much easier.

With regards,

Petr Dvorak

#1910 worksforme Sharing files van
Description

I am sorry for this, but if i have to mention something that keeps me away from using virtualbox is the fact that shared folders is a pain in the ass. I wish you guys could let us copy files and just past them in the guest system like in Vmware. I do a lot of software testing, so i need to copy files from my host machine to my guest machine, but shared folders is slow and time consuming. It be nice to just copy the files and be able to past them on the guest machine. I am sure that will make a lot of people happy. Thank you for giving us this great program, but just to make it perfect, try to include that feature that vmware has.
