So to clean up this thread let me reply to the two issues separately.
1) if your device-assigned audio is not visible with '-audiodev
id=audio1,driver=none', but *is* visible with QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none,
then that is a bug in QEMU and needs to be dealt with there.
2) To your issue with starting the domain it would be good to know what
is the error you get from virsh (or however you are starting the
domain) and the debug logs of libvirtd, ideally just for the part of
the domain starting.
that is the issue, there wasn't any error. the vm just
didn't booted.
I can diff the original xml with the new one to see the diffs and post them here if you
wish
