If there is no sound device you have no audio even if you have graphic
device configured. It's the same as in real world, if you don't have
sound card you don't have audio output. So there is no issue with
migration because there was no audio output on hostA.
This is what is wrong with the current implementation, the audio output
is based on graphic device but there is no connection to sound device.
The only connection is that you can configure SPICE audio output
and the audio will be send to client via SPICE protocol.
So no matter what the QEMU_AUDIO_DRV is set to, if there is no sound
device there is no audio.
