I have xubuntu (technically ubuntu with xubuntu-desktop installed) as a host system and minimalistic ubuntu as guest. Both uses ALSA. I've deinstalled pulse audio from host in purpose of making environment clear after discovering audio dysfunction. In both host and guest system user is a member of audio group and may use alsamixer freely (all channels are enabled). VirtualBox OSE is configured to use ALSA and provide Intel HD audio card. dmesg from guest tells me that it has successfully initialized Intel HD Audio card.
I've got sample mp3, it was perfectly played in host machine. I've tried mpg321, mplayer and alsaplayer, they all ceased to play the mp3 file on guest. Alsaplayer given me most usefull error description: "No stream found". I've searched google and find some threads about dmix, such as https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=91692 I've tried all solutions, but nevertheless failed to fix the bug. I suppose that the error mechanics is similar to dmix cases but does not exact match them.
I've googled a lot but still has no clue what should I diagnose further and how fix the bug.
P.S.
I want to describe the use case for those, who is curios why I need to install ubuntu inside ubuntu and want to suggest more clear solution. I simply want to use skype in my open source system not tainting it with proprietary binary. To keep system and my privacy safe I'd like to isolate skype in a its own virtual box instance.
