No, there isn't any support for audio devices in Nova / libvirt at this
time. How were you anticipating using it. Outputting via the host sound
card doesn't make sense, and I don't believe noVNC supports the VNC
audio extension. AFAIK, gtk-vnc is the only common VNC client supporting
audo, and that doesn't support the websockets tunnelling.

So even if we allowed audio devices, I'm not clear how you'd make use of it ?
If you can show how it'd be useful, adding audio devices is an easy RFE to
take care of
