Yea, libvirt has no spice support (yet), so this road is a bit bumpy 
unfortunately.  We are working on it, F15 will be better ;)

libvirt sets "QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none".  Which in turn will make qemu send 
all audio to /dev/null.  Setting "QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=spice" will make qemu 
send all audio to the spice client.  As you need a wrapper script anyway 
to enable spice you can easily stick this in there as well to make audio 
work.

cheers,
