Yes, it is working fine (using -soundhw es1370 or -soundhw ac97) with kvm 
72+dfsg-3 and kernel 2.6.26/ 2.6.27.x on host (amd64, in-kernel kvm 
modules) and guest (amd64 and i386), actually I am running a locally built 
kvm 72+dfsg-3 [1] with only that change since late november.

$ kvm -net nic,model=virtio -net user -soundhw ac97 -m 512 -monitor stdio 
-cdrom <foo.iso>
$ kvm -net nic,model=virtio -net user -soundhw es1370 -m 512 -monitor stdio 
-cdrom <foo.iso>

Part of my (almost) daily test regime for live ISOs is also testing audio
and video playback (as we had a few surprises with libxine1 and its 
implicit dependencies in the past), so I do use it quite extensively 
without any problems so far.

[1]     I also tested 79+dfsg-3 + this patch from experimental for some 
        time, with the same success.
