Hmm, if we add this, people might reasonably question why this default
audiodev can't be used for everything, instead of making other 'audiodev'
parameter mandatory.

For the x86 machines we have a property tied specifically to the PC
speaker.

  -machine ...,pcspk-audiodev=<name>


If we assume that's the desired pattern, then every machine which has
a built-in audio device should gain some  "{$device}-audiodev" proprerty
where '$device' is some reasonable name for the built-in audio device
of the machine.  This would work better if a machine ended up with
two built-in audio devices and needed separate audiodevs for them.
