It also points to several other instructions for wrapping the launch of VMware in a script with the LD_PRELOAD variable. I tried the above without creating a wrapper first. Unfortunately, this didn't work for me either - Workstation complains that /dev/dsp doesn't exist. However, if I knew what the device entry for Pulse Audio was - perhaps Workstation could be convinced to use it...
