By using Torbhen's netjack driver, I guess it should be possible to 
send audio back and forth between the vmware side and the host side in a 
synchronized way. It might work very well.

(I tried running jackdmp in windows under vmware, and that worked very
well. Unfortunately, I didn't have the tools to compile netjack under 
windows... (someone should make a package of netjack for windows :-) ))
