For audio add <code>-device AC97</code> to the parameters and use the [http://a320.the-cake-is-a-lie.com:8000/pgm/drv/sound/ac97/ac97_362.zip ac97_362.zip] driver. This driver also provides as an additional bonus some pretty respectable Sound Blaster Pro 2.0 PCM emulation out of the box which is compatible and fully functional on QEMU.
 
The machine argument is set to pc-i440fx-2.4, this is to get around the PCI Bus bug that persists within QEMU, and the <code>VGA,vgamem_mb=64</code> parameter allocates 64MB of VRAM onto the generic VGA adapter QEMU provides to allow higher resolutions and color depths within 98SE.
