Yes, that's been my idea too when I had a closer look at the problem.
The qemu configure script however enables OSS for Linux hosts.

I include a (very small) simple patch to add a --disable-oss option to
configure.  Also, libsdl in a version matching the sound daemon (esd
for GNOME, aRts for KDE) must have been installed.  This works for
small sound samples like the Windows and GNOME system sounds.  I'm
getting dropouts with samples longer than a few seconds. YMMV.
