<name> is anything (it's an identifier in case you want to have multiple 
audiodevs).  For backend you probably want to use `coreaudio` on a Mac 
(sdl might be available too, I'm not sure, see the list under the 
-audiodev option).  So something like this:

    -audiodev coreaudio,id=audio0 -machine pcspk-audiodev=audio0
