Hi,

Here's what I've done:

1) Install libsndio on the Linux guest (I've used
http://www.sndio.org/sndio.tar.gz)

2) Compile this alsa plugin on the Linux guest:
https://github.com/Duncaen/alsa-sndio

3) Copy libasound_module_pcm_sndio.so under /usr/lib/alsa-lib/ (I'm on
Arch Linux, YMMV)

4) Create a /etc/asound.conf file containing the following lines:

pcm.!default {
type sndio
device "snd@100.64.1.1/0"
}

Where 100.64.1.1 is the ip address of the host.

Enjoy,
David
