I cant really comment about the sound issue (I had no such problems),
but I couldn't use bridged networking over a wireless device.
While the device did manage to switch into promiscuous mode, nothing
else really worked.

... a short search in google seemed to suggest that wireless devices are
not supported by vmware server 1.0.x.

I'd suggest you use NAT networking instead.
