You can use the Plan9 file system on Linux afaik. Still nobody cares.

Mounting my sound card across the network sounds like a nice hack. It is more important that sound does not stutter though. That has soft real time requirements, which Plan9 does not address.

Actually, start QEMU with some special arguments and a directory path, and the Linux guest inside will be able to see the given directory as a read-write 9P filesystem, mountable with a single command. (New files get QEMU's UID unless QEMU is run as root.)

An incredibly good point, and why Plan 9 has zero adoption. :(
