Hello John

I have Ubuntu Dapper running on my Dell Inspiron 1150 Laptop and got 
vmware-player with apt-get (universe?) Kernel is (stock) 2.6.15-25-386 
and vmware-player just works great with usb and sound :-)

With kernel 2.6.15-26-386 vmware-player did not work for me :-(

I think this info does not help you, sorry. But I thought I just report 
that it is working for me.

Sorry, Thomas
