While the -soundhw option has been deprecated, the way of creating
audio devices is not as easy as with say -usbdevice or -nic.  This is
true especially of HDA devices.

This series introduces a new option called "-audio", which allows
full configuration of the backend and just the model of the frontend.
It is almost as easy to use as "-soundhw", especially because the
user does not have to know about creating a codec device.

Following the previous experience with those options, keep the easy and
useful cases and remove those that complicate the code unnecessarily; in
this case PC speaker support is removed, because it patches the device
instead of creating it, and so is the ability to create >1 device in
one shot.

  vl: introduce -audio as a replacement for -soundhw
