+NOTE: parameter validation is known to be incomplete, in many cases
+specifying an invalid option causes QEMU to print an error message and
+continue emulation without sound.
+
Valid global options are:
@table @option
Sets the timer @var{period} used by the audio subsystem in microseconds.
Default is 10000 (10 ms).
+@item in|out.mixing-engine=on|off
+Use QEMU's mixing engine to mix all streams inside QEMU and convert
+audio formats when not supported by the backend. When off,
+@var{fixed-settings} must be off too. Note that disabling this option
+means that the selected backend must support multiple streams and the
+audio formats used by the virtual cards, otherwise you'll get no sound.
+It's not recommended to disable this option unless you want to use 5.1
+or 7.1 audio, as mixing engine only supports mono and stereo audio.
+Default is on.
+
@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
@item in|out.voices=@var{voices}
Specify the number of @var{voices} to use. Default is 1.
-@item in|out.buffer=@var{usecs}
+@item in|out.buffer-length=@var{usecs}
Sets the size of the buffer in microseconds.
@end table
Specify the ALSA @var{device} to use for input and/or output. Default
is @code{default}.
-@item in|out.period-len=@var{usecs}
+@item in|out.period-length=@var{usecs}
Sets the period length in microseconds.

For the top level, an explicit node name must be specified.
@item read-only
Open the node read-only. Guest write attempts will fail.
+
+Note that some block drivers support only read-only access, either generally or
+in certain configurations. In this case, the default value
+@option{read-only=off} does not work and the option must be specified
+explicitly.
+@item auto-read-only
+If @option{auto-read-only=on} is set, QEMU may fall back to read-only usage
+even when @option{read-only=off} is requested, or even switch between modes as
+needed, e.g. depending on whether the image file is writable or whether a
+writing user is attached to the node.
+@item force-share
+Override the image locking system of QEMU by forcing the node to utilize
+weaker shared access for permissions where it would normally request exclusive
+access. When there is the potential for multiple instances to have the same
+file open (whether this invocation of QEMU is the first or the second
+instance), both instances must permit shared access for the second instance to
+succeed at opening the file.
+
+Enabling @option{force-share=on} requires @option{read-only=on}.
@item cache.direct
The host page cache can be avoided with @option{cache.direct=on}. This will
attempt to do disk IO directly to the guest's memory. QEMU may still perform an

+@item multidevs=@var{multidevs}
+Specifies how to deal with multiple devices being shared with a 9p export.
+Supported behaviours are either "remap", "forbid" or "warn". The latter is
+the default behaviour on which virtfs 9p expects only one device to be
+shared with the same export, and if more than one device is shared and
+accessed via the same 9p export then only a warning message is logged
+(once) by qemu on host side. In order to avoid file ID collisions on guest
+you should either create a separate virtfs export for each device to be
+shared with guests (recommended way) or you might use "remap" instead which
+allows you to share multiple devices with only one export instead, which is
+achieved by remapping the original inode numbers from host to guest in a
+way that would prevent such collisions. Remapping inodes in such use cases
+is required because the original device IDs from host are never passed and
+exposed on guest. Instead all files of an export shared with virtfs always
+share the same device id on guest. So two files with identical inode
+numbers but from actually different devices on host would otherwise cause a
+file ID collision and hence potential misbehaviours on guest. "forbid" on
+the other hand assumes like "warn" that only one device is shared by the
+same export, however it will not only log a warning message but also
+deny access to additional devices on guest. Note though that "forbid" does
+currently not block all possible file access operations (e.g. readdir()
+would still return entries from other devices).
