I had been using sudo to start the VM, and that kept this environment variable from being used. I did a "sudo setcap cap_net_admin+ep /usr/bin/kvm" in order to be able to run kvm under a normal user account. Now the sound works quite well.

That is good to hear. But you are giving up on a lot of security if
you're running kvm as root (or with CAP_NET_ADMIN). qemu supports
setting up the network externally and running with no special privileges.
Of course, it may not matter for your use case.
