XBMC really wants direct access to the video and sound devices. While it
might be possible to do this via device pass-through, then I think XBMC
is one of these installs where you really want it installed directly on
the box and not in a virtual machine.
If you don't want to install it directly, you may have a look at the
XBMC live USB image instead.
Cheers,
Jes
