It also has support for local USB to VM connection (I think - may be in future release and not current).<br>
<br></div><div>I generally work with sound off. I was quite surprised during the ALE talk when my demo of remote winders7 desktop VM (through 3 firewalls!) over spice client had bleeps and blorps from winders sounds :-) . So I tested (in front the group - brave or foolish :-) if youtube would play and we were all pretty amazed at the quality and sound sync.<br>
<br></div><div>Don't know if it reasonable to try and use spice for a remote access tool yet. It requires an external networking layer to connect to the virtual nic, kvm over a virtualized serial connection inside the VM. That serial connection is encrypted and sent to the client. <br>
<br></div><div>I have several remote KVM setups at work. Drives me nuts with the java-based mouse offsets. Spice does not have that issue and with all proper drivers installed, it supports cut-n-paste from laptop to/from virtual desktop over spice (common mouse buffer! Still need <ctl>-c/v for winders but middle click OK for Linux clients.).<br>
