AFAIK you can't access hardware directly with xen unless you have
hardware support for it.

A possible workaround might be an X client on dom0 and domU exporting
its display to it. Another possibility is vnc.
For audio you can use Esound (see the archives: Howto enable network
sound from domU to dom0?).

Hope this helps :)
