Looks like your current QEMU now only contains the audio backend for OSS, but not for pulseaudio anymore. Please make sure that the right pulse-audio development package (e.g. "pulseaudio-libs-devel") is installed before running the "configure" script of QEMU.

When an attempt is made, QEMU seems to freeze for a moment. I use "-device usb-audio" to add the usb sound card. This issue is present in both emulation and KVM mode.
