(Get the code!)
I don't think that would improve things as much as one would expect. I think most people use virt-manager with VMs in the root QEMU instance rather than the per-user "QEMU Usermode" one (because it doesn't work well, as per bug 521428), so the VM process wouldn't be able to output any sound because it runs as root and won't have access to the user's PulseAudio process. So for sound to work, the user needs to either use ALSA or use the "QEMU Usermode" domain. Neither option is very attractive (though if virt-manager worked better with QEMU Usermode then that would be a viable option).
