This is a significant change in semantics.

  qemu-system-x86_64 -device ac97

will currently automatically create a default audio backend for the
user, but now it just reports an error. I don't think we want todo
this, as allowing 'audiodev' to be optional was an intentionale
thing to be more user friendly to casual userss. It lets command
line args they use "just work" regardless of which audio subsystem
their host OS happens to be using, which wouldn't be the case if we
force them to use -audiodev every time.
