If I am not mistaken then the graphics card needs 2 bars, one with 256MB and one with 128K. The sound card then needs 1 bar with 16K of PCI memory. How big is the PCI memory with seabios? Is there really not enough space to "squeeze" in those extra 16K?
I obviously forgot to add up the other memory that is used... 32MB go to the standard VGA card. Running qemu-kvm with "-vga none" did not work, so I left it in. And the e1000 NIC needs another 128K.
I'll see if I can get rid of the standard VGA card. I guess that should free enough memory for the sound card.
I did some more testing by starting the VM with the paramter "-vga none" and passed both the VGA card and the sound card to it. With this option the VM did not boot,
Where did it hang, ie. what IP was reported by info cpus?
I added some debug options and found out, that the VM hangs when trying to initialize the graphics card ROM. See here: http://pastebin.com/S9a8uQfU
And some additional info here:

Yeah, you definitely run out of PCI memory.
Plus you may suffer from the PAM/SMRAM bug I wrote about in the wiki. Try if this hack improves the situation:
