Thanks Ray. I did see something this evening talking about a bug in
vmware for linux that causes the same problem I've been experiencing.
I checked the vmware documentation to find out what sound card the
virtual machine had, then downloaded the drivers for it, but still had
the problem.
I've heard of a few open source alternatives to vmware. I think I'll
try one.
