Hi,
Initialization order looks tricky though. I'd have to create pcspk early, simliar to flash, in pc_machine_initfn(). Problem is I don't have a isa bus yet at that point (flash is sysbus and doesn't have this problem). I'm open to suggestions hiow do deal with that best.
Seems I've found a way to deal with that: "ISADevice *pcspk = object_new(TYPE_PC_SPEAKER);" can be done before the isa bus exists & we can fixup things later using qdev_set_parent_bus().
You'll want to watch out for the series I hope to post shortly: it'll be dev = qdev_new(TYPE_PC_SPEAKER); qdev_realize(dev, bus, errp) then. No need for qdev_set_parent_bus().
Ah, cool, that shows that I'm on the right path with my idea ;) Sneak preview: https://git.kraxel.org/cgit/qemu/log/?h=sirius/soundhw Suggestions for a good name? I've used "pc.pcspk" for now, but maybe "pc.audiodev0" or "pc.sound0" is better? take care, Gerd
