Andreas,

Yes! We have sound input/output available. In "theory".

In practice, no way this is working audio, or audio at all. At the beginning I 
thought that my sound card was having a heart attack trying to play a simple 
beep. Then, if the guest hasn't freeze, as soon as you go to the Sound panel, 
you have:

- 10.5, .7, .8, .9, .11 and .12: the simple beep sounds like an electroshock is 
applied to the motherboard, for 3-4 sec. It freezes so hard that it won't even 
accept any input from the host, like closing the window from the widget or 
Cmd-Q. Got to kill the guestOS process. It's like the whole VirtualBox process 
freezes.

- 10.6 simply kernel panics. At least that's consistent...

Unscientific evidence: I believe it's because it takes a long time to process 
the audio. When changing the volume slider in the menu bar, an audible system 
beep is supposed to come out, reflecting the volume level. That usually takes 
about 250 msec (maybe?). In the guests that freeze, the few times an attempt to 
play the beep was made, it took about 7-8 sec to complete the ... whatever that 
thing was. It was like a whitewalker dying...

I think I prefer the no-audio-detected compared to this :D

I'll keep my eyes open (as always) for potential future test builds, if and 
when they're ready. Thanks,

Socratis
