Playing CDs doesn't use anything but the amplifier in the sound card.
It really tells you nothing.

Well if you use vmware 4.x it is emulating an ess1371 PCI sound card.

Irrelevant.  Question is: Is Linux working with the CM8738 at the
moment?  If it is, and nothing else is using the sound (ESS, ARTS, etc)
then VMware should be able to connect to it and emulate the SB PCI128.

Did you install the vmware tools in windows yet?  If not do that.

It was probably the first cheap PCI sound card that worked well.
