I checked, and the reason that sound doesn't yet work in vmware is
because vmware's sound support is still 32-bit.
I want to know if I load, for example, Debian Etch testing for AMD64,
which is actually a beta, will it evolve (through updates) into the
stable version eventually? Will I be able to count on having it become
more stable, and gain more features, like being able to run 32-bit
binaries, someday? Or will I eventually be forced to reload?
I've not worked with 64-bit, but I think I'm enough of Debian expert to
add my $0.02.
Debian testing is often fairly stable. IT will always become more
stable and more feature rich. I've severely broken a system had watched
it fix itself after a round or two of updates. Now, someone else is
going to have to voice their opinion of the 32/64 bit issue...
Remember one of Debian's prime tenets is that you should NEVER have to
reload.
