Gerd Hoffmann:Creating sound card devices using ``-soundhw`` (since 5.1) '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Sound card devices should be created using ``-device`` instead. The names are the same for most devices. The exceptions are ``hda`` which needs two devices (``-device intel-hda -device hda-duplex``) and ``pcspk`` which can be activated using ``-machine pcspk-audiodev=<name>``.
For this to go away, I'd rather have something like the -nic option that provides an easy way to set up the front end and back end.
In other words you would do something like -audiohw <audiodev-args>,model=xxx and it gets desugared automatically to either
-audiodev <audiodev-args>,id=foo -device devname,audiodev=xxx or -audiodev <audiodev-args>,id=foo -M propname=foo Paolo
