[wplug] VM Server setup

[Adam Bright]

Thanks for the tip regarding the bridged connection.  Tried it and it
worked.

So I have the server setup (using it as a desktop currently) with Arch
Linux as the host system and have loaded Windows 7 and 8 for the heck of it
and openSUSE 12.1 and all are accessible via RDP.

Anyone know how to enable a digital sound card in Arch? plus bridging the
gap so VirtualBox can deliver sound to say Windows 7 for now?
