After installation of qemu-kvm package from karmic (version
0.11.0~rc2-0ubuntu9) the situation is better, as order of the audio driver has
changed (I am not sure that it matters):
# kvm -audio-help | grep ^Name
Name: alsa
Name: pa
Name: oss
Name: sdl
Name: none
Name: wav
#
I hear audio on host machine (pulseaudio is running).
Any operations on audio card from audio-enabled virtual machines lock up
(apparently awaiting on on access to the audio card).
KVM uses pulseaudio:
# lsof | grep kvm | grep puls
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/gavri/.gvfs
