what where the reasons why he stopped the project?

Think about what is usualy done with PV guests and how they are usualy
accessed. As far as my information reaches, most people use PV guest to
consolidate linux servers on one machine, mostly accessed with ssh and
without graphical gui. Do these people need any audio support?

I think that audio support may be interesting in HMV guests where you
use a graphical GUI via SDL, VNC or RDP to work on a Windows guest

But this is only MY opinion, wait for other, more competent answers and
really think about where it could be usefull and who has a benefit from
it. I'm quite sure that I forgot several scenarios where it could be
quite usefull!
