13#
14# @mixing-engine: use QEMU's mixing engine to mix all streams inside QEMU and
15#                 convert audio formats when not supported by the backend. When
16#                 set to off, fixed-settings must be also off (default on,
17#                 since 4.2)
18#
19# @fixed-settings: use fixed settings for host input/output. When off,
20#                  frequency, channels and format must not be
21#                  specified (default true)
22#
23# @frequency: frequency to use when using fixed settings
24#             (default 44100)
25#
26# @channels: number of channels when using fixed settings (default 2)
27#
28# @voices: number of voices to use (default 1)
29#
30# @format: sample format to use when using fixed settings
31#          (default s16)
32#
33# @buffer-length: the buffer length in microseconds
