On my machine, a guest fails to boot if it has a sound card, but not graphical device/display is configured, because pulseaudio fails to initialize since it can't access $HOME.
A workaround is removing the audio device, however on ARM boards there isn't any option to do that, so -nographic always fails.
Set QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none if no <graphics> are configured. Unfortunately this has massive test suite fallout.
Add a qemu.conf parameter nographics_allow_host_audio, that if enabled will pass through QEMU_AUDIO_DRV from sysconfig (similar to vnc_allow_host_audio) --- I've snipped the actual test changes since the mail was too large. It was generated with roughly
sed -i -e "s/LOGNAME=test /LOGNAME=test QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none /" `grep "\-nographic" * | xargs`
ACK; I'm on the fence on whether this is okay for 1.1.2, but think it qualifies as a bug fix. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
