Hmm, that sounds bad - it should not do this.

What version of QEMU is this with - I think that needs to be fixed in
QEMU
qemu-0.9.1-12.f11

I'd prefer not - AFAIK, QEMU should not be doing this - if PulseAudio
is desired when running as root, then the admin should start it ahead
of time, not have QEMU auto-spawn it. PA should only auto-spawn itself
if running non-root in the desktop session IMHO.

I can not get this to run without adding policy, if qemu is denied
access to /root it blows up. Sadly, It needs r/w access so running two
qemu with different labels, the second will blow up since it can not
write to the pulseaudio files created by the first.

I still think it might be a good idea to create a homedir for each qemu
from libvirt, this way they can read/write contents and as new libraries
get sucked into qemu, it will just work
HOME=/var/run/libvirt/qemu/DOMAIN qemu-kvm ...
