I think I have find a way to have AltGr, fullscreen and good audio output
(with linux guest for the last).
I have rebuild sdl with directx but without directsound by commenting some
lines:

src/audio/SDL_audio.c @71
/*#ifdef ENABLE_DIRECTX
    &DSOUND_bootstrap,
#endif*/
 
src/audio/SDL_sysaudio.h @135
/*#ifdef ENABLE_DIRECTX
        extern AudioBootStrap DSOUND_bootstrap;
#endif*/

and rebuild qemu for using SDL_SWSURFACE instead of SDL_HWSURFACE
(sdl.c @59), I hope this is ok and don't impact too much performances or
anything other.
