You didn't describe or post an example of the "not very good" sound via CoreAudio. Perhaps QEMU is not filling playback buffers quickly enough, causing underruns? These are drop-outs in the audio and are caused by missing the real-time deadlines for filling playback audio buffers. The wav output wouldn't have that problem since data is appended while QEMU is running but you only listen to it later. So the timing doesn't matter and it will sound fine. Another possibility is that QEMU isn't writing audio samples in the format that CoreAudio expects, so you hear weird artifacts. More info is needed... Stefan
