Well, it was easy, but:
a) when I run "vmwarearts" as a normal user, I get:
vmwarearts &ERROR: ld.so: object 'libvmdsp.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot 
be preloaded: ignored.
and sound doesn't work;
b) when I run "vmwarearts" as root, I get a vmware messate "Failed to 
open sound device /dev/dsp: No such device Virtual device sound will 
start disconnected.";
c) when I run "aoss vmware" as a normal user, I get:
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libaoss.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: 
ignored.
d) when I run "aoss vmware" as root.... sound works!!!

I still think that there is something about permissions somewhere.....
