I have this entry on the VM, already. I'm still not getting any audio
passthrough from this VM.
This really got my goat, so I wasted some time comparing the two VMs.
After reconfiguring the Display emulation to "Spice", and Video emulation to
"QXL", audio started working. Go figure.
Also, in the XML config file, I manually changed machine to "pc-i440fx-1.4",
dunno if it makes any difference, or not.
