If the machine doesn't support a certain configuration, it should reject
it, not crash.  The following machines crash in my testing:

* aarch64/arm cubieboard
* microblaze/microblazeel petalogix-ml605
* or32 or32-sim
* ppc/ppc64/ppcemb virtex-ml507
* sparc64 niagara

Reproducer:

    echo -e 'q' | QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none $q -nodefaults -S -display none -M 
$m,accel=qtest -monitor stdio
