Gunnar Beutner b082488e94 Meta: Prefer to use -machine pcspk-audiodev for QEMU >=5.1
This gets rid of the following warning message from QEMU on startup:

qemu-system-i386: warning: '-soundhw pcspk' is deprecated, please set a
backend using '-machine pcspk-audiodev=<name>' instead

Fixes #4093.

SerenityOS

Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.

Build status Fuzzing Status Discord

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
