Try to set QEMU_AUDIO_DAC_TRY_POLL=0 for the environment of the qemu process. That's long required to get sound out of the Musicpal emulation as well (malc, you may recall this). It even got worse with current qemu.git: previously, the sounds was just quirky. Now the system is booting way slower in polling mode and is partially not reactive anymore. Jan
