The qemu man page includes an "hda" parameter to -soundhw, which I think must be a mistake...

-soundhw card1[,card2,...] or -soundhw all
Enable audio and selected sound hardware. Use ? to print all available sound hardware.

qemu -soundhw sb16,adlib hda
qemu -soundhw es1370 hda
qemu -soundhw ac97 hda
qemu -soundhw all hda
qemu -soundhw ?

At first I thought you had added emulating an Intel HDA sound adapter, but since it's not in the list of sound drivers, I thought I would post it here.

Here is a patch which changes the misleading part:

hda refers to the name of the disk image for IDE harddisk one, i.e. yourhda.img. Otherwise the qemu command line is incomplete and won't work (or prompt for an image). Note that it's apparently not necessary for ?, so it makes sense to keep it in some form.
