Bug Description
Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose
While running VirtualBox under Ubuntu Hardy, I can't hear sounds, like Rhythmbox playing songs or gnome's sounds. I'm not sure, but looks like VirtualBox is blocking PulseAudio.
Is it possible to change VirtualBox package in a way that it uses pulseaudio (or one of the PulseAudio's alsa emulated devices) by default, so this thing is fixed?

Ok, I think it was kind of my fault. I noticed that current VirtualBox version has an option, per Virtual Machine, which allows to select the Audio Device. It was set to Alsa and I changed to PulseAudio, now it seems fine.
But, anyway, isn't this supposed to work without conflicts even if the output was set to Alsa? PulseAudio doesn't emulate for multiple alsa devices?
