[ale] Qemu experiences (or.....wow!)

[Dow Hurst]

What is sound like on the system?  Does it work normally in WinXP or 
does it have funny artifacts or sound weird?  Can you run pretty much 
any software?  Does hardware require that Linux fully understand it for 
WinXP software to work properly?  I'll look at the Qemu project and read 
up on it, however, your comments are welcomed!
