How does Opera do the equivalent of these?
Ulysses_:
Could you post your .vmx please, that makes OSS work fine?

Two methods which I know work generally, although you'd have to test them to be certain in this case:
1) To lose them at shutdown: Opera versions and install methods vary as to where they place the cache files. You can discover their location with Opera>MenuBar>Help>AboutOpera, in order to make sure that files you don't want backed up are correctly listed in your /opt/.xfiletool.lst.
2) If you want to lose them during a session: Opera>MenuBar>Tools>DeletePrivateData is a tool for removing cookies, cache, etc. during a session, and it also makes possible the deletion of vulnerable email passwords before opening dodgy mail. You can configure what is to be deleted.
(Bug note: Opera versions before the most recent have to be closed and reopened for passwords to be effectively removed by this method. Bug is fixed in 11.01.)

Correction to the above: It seems I was being very naive about the nature of supercookies! Have just spent some time googling "supercookie" I now doubt that the above will deal with them at all. I did find, however, several references about going to the Adobe website to get them removed/controlled...plus some other stuff that looked useful about locating them, plus now am understanding Tinypoodle's original answer much better. Apologies for the "red herring"!

I didn't do anything special. I just accepted all the defaults when creating my virtual machine. I suspect you may have more than one sound device and VMware Player is selecting the wrong one.
sound.present = "TRUE"
sound.fileName = "-1"
sound.autodetect = "TRUE"
sound.pciSlotNumber = "34"

Still doesn't work (it sounds terrible) and the windows host only lists one sound device, a RealTek AC'97. Tried the following too, but still the sound is terrible:
pciSound.priorityBoost = "TRUE"
sound.highPriority = "TRUE"
Then added the following from a vmware enthusiast's post, to no avail.
sound.maxLength = "2048"
sound.smallBlockSize = "1024"
sound.buffering = "10000000000.0"
sound.ignoreOverflows = "TRUE"
sound.copyDelayFactor = "1000000.0"
sound.virtualrealcorrection= "10000000000.0"
sound.directSound = "FALSE"
It remains to be seen how switching to a linux host would affect TC sound. It seem a TC problem, all other linux'es I have VM's for sound perfect when playing youtube flash.

try redirecting the audio output to a wave file and see if it still sounds badly. That will remove your windows audio card as a variable. If you have a USB audio device, you could try connecting to it within the VM.
