I don't know if my experience tramslates directly, as i am running Windows XP 
under VirtualBox 2.1 from Sun.  Not Vista and not Virtual Box 2.06, but I had 
exactly the same symptoms.  Sound fine under the Windows guest but no sound in 
Opensuse 11.1

The fix for me was to change a setting in Virtual Box.  Settings -> Audio -> 
Host Audi Driver I changed it from pulseaudio to ALSA.  Now I have sound on 
both host and guest.

At random times I lose sound, but this is fixed by running 

rcalsasound restart

as root.
