The Debian big referenced suggested using ALSA over OSS, this bug is
related to favouring PA over ALSA. The Debian issue was resolved with:

However, the current debian qemu-kvm package contains:
--audio-drv-list="alsa oss sdl pa" \
--audio-card-list="ac97 es1370 sb16 cs4231a adlib gus hda" \
Neither of these configure options are set in debian/rules. This probably
requires further investigation.
Thanks.

Title:
kvm: use PulseAudio instead of ALSA
Status in QEMU:
Incomplete
Status in “kvm” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in “kvm” package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: kvm
kvm in jaunty prefers to use OSS drivers rather than ALSA:
# dpkg -l | grep kvm
ii kvm 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu11 Full virtualization on i386
and amd64 hardwa
# kvm -audio-help | grep ^Name
Name: oss
Name: alsa
Name: sdl
Name: pa
Name: none
Name: wav
#
Because of that, once a virtual machine with working audio card
starts, the kvm grabs the audio card entirely for itself. Any
subsequent operations on audio card either from the host machine, or
from the other audio-enabled virtual machines lock up (apparently
awaiting on on access to the audio card).
The bug is echo of the corresponding debian bug:
