I am not aware of any realisitcly usable existing system that would fit
your requirements. Sorry. 

At RH our approach reagrding audio in VMs is actually to simply use
virtualized sound cards. That is crappy (because they don't model the
extra latency), but works quite well otherwise, and the vulnerable
interface is limited to the pseudo hw iface presented to the virtualized
OS.
