On my host system I use alsa and no pulseaudio. However it doesn't make any difference if I set the alsa USE-flag for qemu or not. I don't know if qemu runs flawless without sdl2 USE-flag. But you can easily test this. Btw. Since I reverted from qemu-2.5.0 back to qemu-2.4.1-r2, qemu hangs no longer when I specify ac97, hda or es1370 as sound hardware emulation. But I have to start the xfce mixer application on the guest OS after the desktop is loaded. If I don't do this, then one core on my host is always at 100% load and qemu is slow and sometimes doesn't respond for some seconds. But no error message appears on guest or host. Strange is, that the guest OS doesn't show a high load but only the host OS. After I started the xfce-mixer app on guest OS, everything is smooth and host load count normalizes. I now use qemu with "-soundhw es1370" and am have automated the start of the mixer app. With this, sound is working fine. As I already said, when I use sb16 or gus then I have no sound at all. Only ac97, hda and es1370 are working for me. Maybe this has something to do with the guest OS.
