This allowed me to boot th VM with single audiodev without specifying the 
audiodev in the device,
but on shutdown qemu crashes with heap corruption sadly.

 -audiodev pa,id=snd1,server=/run/user/103992/pulse/native
 -device ich9-intel-hda,id=sound0,msi=on
 -device hda-micro,id=sound0-codec0,bus=sound0.0,cad=0

In qemu output:
free(): invalid next size (fast)
