I don't see an alsa option for kvm/qemu.

They appear to be from the latest install, since strace shows various bios files loading from /usr/local/kvm/share. The invoking environment was a little different from the real run, since strace vdeq .... apparently traced vdeq but not kvm calls. So I just ran the kvm bare. > > Does kvm deb from http://www.corpit.ru/debian/tls/kvm/ expose the same > issue? Yes. However, as it fails it left a reverberating sound (fragment of the Windows login tone). I tried starting in safe mode. XP said there was new hardware: the video (-vga std). It could not find a driver on the internet(!? the device was identified as a VGA controller). Then it told me the driver had been installed (after I hit finish). I rebooted in regular mode. This time there was no sound, but the machine failed again with STOP 0x8E (as before). The video appeared to be working throughout this, showing a window that exceeded vanilla VGA resolution.
