I have no intention of using this for on-air use. How can I test for this to see if maybe VirtualBox is better in this regard than VMWare? > You would need two audio cards, but that's no different from what would be > required in the first scenario. I WAs trying to avoid having two audio cards, and it seems that situation one (windows host, RD guest) seems to allow that, I was able to play audio from rivendell, and it was mixed with my windows audio. Since I would not be using both at the same time, that would not be a problem. There could be added Latency of course, but I don't think that will be a problem, some testing of course will be in order.
