+@findex -audiodev
+Adds a new audio backend @var{driver} identified by @var{id}. There are
+global and driver specific properties. Some values can be set
+differently for input and output, they're marked with @code{in|out.}.
+You can set the input's property with @code{in.@var{prop}} and the
+output's property with @code{out.@var{prop}}. For example:
+@example
+-audiodev alsa,id=example,in.frequency=44110,out.frequency=8000
+-audiodev alsa,id=example,out.channels=1 # leaves in.channels unspecified
+@end example
+
+Valid global options are:
+
+@table @option
+@item id=@var{identifier}
+Identifies the audio backend.
+
+@item timer-period=@var{period}
+Sets the timer @var{period} used by the audio subsystem in microseconds.
+Default is 10000 (10 ms).
+
+@item in|out.fixed-settings=on|off
+Use fixed settings for host audio. When off, it will change based on
+how the guest opens the sound card. In this case you must not specify
+@var{frequency}, @var{channels} or @var{format}. Default is on.
+
+@item in|out.frequency=@var{frequency}
+Specify the @var{frequency} to use when using @var{fixed-settings}.
+Default is 44100Hz.
+
+@item in|out.channels=@var{channels}
+Specify the number of @var{channels} to use when using
+@var{fixed-settings}. Default is 2 (stereo).
+
+@item in|out.format=@var{format}
+Specify the sample @var{format} to use when using @var{fixed-settings}.
+Valid values are: @code{s8}, @code{s16}, @code{s32}, @code{u8},
+@code{u16}, @code{u32}. Default is @code{s16}.
+
+@item in|out.voices=@var{voices}
+Specify the number of @var{voices} to use. Default is 1.
+
+@item in|out.buffer=@var{usecs}
+Sets the size of the buffer in microseconds.
+
+@item in|out.buffer-count=@var{count}
+Sets the @var{count} of the buffers.
+
+@end table
+
+@item -audiodev none,id=@var{id}[,@var{prop}[=@var{value}][,...]]
+Creates a dummy backend that discards all outputs. This backend has no
+backend specific properties.
+
+@item -audiodev alsa,id=@var{id}[,@var{prop}[=@var{value}][,...]]
+Creates backend using the ALSA. This backend is only available on
+Linux.
+
+ALSA specific options are:
+
+@table @option
+@item alsa-in|alsa-out.dev=@var{device}
+Specify the ALSA @var{device} to use for input and/or output. Default
+is @code{default}.
+
+@item alsa-in|alsa-out.try-poll=on|off
+Attempt to use poll mode with the device. Default is on.
+
+@item threshold=@var{threshold}
+Threshold (in microseconds) when playback starts. Default is 0.
+
+@end table
+
+@item -audiodev coreaudio,id=@var{id}[,@var{prop}[=@var{value}][,...]]
+Creates a backend using Apple's Core Audio. This backend is only
+available on Mac OS and only supports playback. This backend has no
+backend specific properties.
+
+@item -audiodev dsound,id=@var{id}[,@var{prop}[=@var{value}][,...]]
+Creates a backend using Microsoft's DirectSound. This backend is only
+available on Windows and only supports playback.
+
+Backend specific options are:
+
+@table @option
+
+@item latency=@var{usecs}
+Add extra @var{usecs} microseconds latency to playback. Default is
+10000 (10 ms).
+
+@end table
+
+@item -audiodev oss,id=@var{id}[,@var{prop}[=@var{value}][,...]]
+Creates a backend using OSS. This backend is available on most
+Unix-like systems.
+
+OSS specific options are:
+
+@table @option
+
+@item oss-in|oss-out.dev=@var{device}
+Specify the file name of the OSS @var{device} to use. Default is
+@code{/dev/dsp}.
+
+@item oss-in|oss-out.try-poll=on|of
+Attempt to use poll mode with the device. Default is on.
+
+@item try-mmap=on|off
+Try using memory mapped device access. Default is off.
+
+@item exclusive=on|off
+Open the device in exclusive mode (vmix won't work in this case).
+Default is off.
+
+@item dsp-policy=@var{policy}
+Sets the timing policy (between 0 and 10, where smaller number means
+smaller latency but higher CPU usage). Use -1 to use buffer sizes
+specified by @code{buffer} and @code{buffer-count}. This option is
+ignored if you do not have OSS 4. Default is 5.
+
+@end table
+
+@item -audiodev pa,id=@var{id}[,@var{prop}[=@var{value}][,...]]
+Creates a backend using PulseAudio. This backend is available on most
+systems.
+
+PulseAudio specific options are:
+
+@table @option
+
+@item server=@var{server}
+Sets the PulseAudio @var{server} to connect to.
+
+@item sink|source.name=@var{sink}
+Use the specified sink/source for playback/recording.
+
+@end table
+
+@item -audiodev sdl,id=@var{id}[,@var{prop}[=@var{value}][,...]]
+Creates a backend using SDL. This backend is available on most systems,
+but you should use your platform's native backend if possible. This
+backend has no backend specific properties.
+
+@item -audiodev spice,id=@var{id}[,@var{prop}[=@var{value}][,...]]
+Creates a backend that sends audio through SPICE. This backend requires
+@code{-spice} and automatically selected in that case, so usually you
+can ignore this option. This backend has no backend specific
+properties.
+
+@item -audiodev wav,id=@var{id}[,@var{prop}[=@var{value}][,...]]
+Creates a backend that writes audio to a WAV file.
+
+Backend specific options are:
+
+@table @option
+
+@item path=@var{path}
+Write recorded audio into the specified file. Default is
+@code{qemu.wav}.

DEF("soundhw", HAS_ARG, QEMU_OPTION_soundhw,
This patch adds documentation of an -audiodev command line option, that deprecates the old QEMU_* environment variables for audio backend configuration. It's syntax is similar to existing options (-netdev, -device, etc): -audiodev driver_name,property=value,... Although now it's possible to specify multiple -audiodev options on command line, multiple audio backends are not supported yet.
