This suggests a setup more like the one we did for virtio-serial

slot='0x0a' function='0x0'/>

<sound model='hda-output'>
<address type='hda' codec='0'/>

<sound model='hda-duplex'>
<address type='hda' codec='1'/>

Looks sane to me.
Are there any technical model names for 'hda-output'
'hda-duplex'
we need to be aware of (as we potentially have ich6, ich7, 8, 9,
etc for intel-hda in the future)
hda-output and hda-duplex are purely virtual devices, they don't exist
as physical chip, so there are no code names or chipset families.
When other variants of the hda controller will be added the audio codecs
are not affected at all. Given that q35 (ich9 family) chipset emulation
support is in development it is quite likely that we'll see a ich9
variant some day (which is basically just another pci id).
