On F16, using SPICE is the only good way to get sound, so do your testing with
that. Please provide the following info

- How are you connecting to the guest console?
- sudo virsh dumpxml $vmname
- sudo cat /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$vmname.log

F16 has no chance here. F17 handles enough 3D bits in software that it can run
gnome shell at least, but not sure how it will handle a game.

Actual 3D support from the whole kvm stack is still a ways off, though I know
some people have patches for qemu opengl passthrough.
