I'm not sure I understood either. It is either what Frediano
asked or you are saying that QEMU is ignoring the preference to
redirect audio through Spice.

Note that, as far as I know, this kind of setting needs a
shutdown + start again to the VM, in order to change the audio
driver.

Either way, it should help if you provide the qemu command line
(of the setting you think there is a bug) and information on
which spice client are you using.
