No, I didn't know of that. Now I tried it, and after about dozen boots I
got it working as well as in SuSE, i.e. barely. The sound works maybe
once or twice, it stutters a lot, and eventually it hangs. I guess that
the linux kernel is not fast enough for real-time sound emulation. MS
Virtual PC 2004 can run DOS/Win95/ME/2000/XP/OS/2 and the sound must
work in those...

So better to turn off the sound completely in linux for now. :-(
