I haven't been able to reproduce it, unfortunately. I understand the problem, though.

Simply put, the problem is mostly that since the VMs run as root rather than your user, it's not completely straight forward how to deal with access to the sound device.

The real fix would be to tunnel sound through VNC. However, gtk-vnc and virt-manager do not support this yet (kvm does).

We could hack libvirt to ignore audio devices for VM's on qemu:///system. That would certainly fix this bug, but would remove sound support for people for whom it actually works.

Making virtinst not add sound devices will not fix existing VM's.

Suggestions?
