I started trying to write a documentation: Document sys-audio · Issue #8093 · QubesOS/qubes-issues · GitHub

WIP is below, if I missed important things please tell

An audio qube acts as a secure handler for potentially malicious audio devices, preventing them from coming into contact with dom0 
(which could otherwise be fatal to the security of the whole system).
It thereby mitigates some of the [security risks of using USB
devices](/doc/device-handling-security/#usb-security) and Bluetooth devices.
Nonetheless, we strongly recommend carefully reading the [security warning on USB input
devices](/doc/device-handling-security/#security-warning-on-usb-input-devices) devices before proceeding.

With an audio qube, many kinds of devices can be used (that previously were either unsafe or impossible to use in dom0):

- Jack 
- HDMI/DisplayPort/…
- USB audio devices
