Not sure.  I'd be worried about specialized audio hardware not being
supported.  More to the point, that doesn't sound like a good use of
virtualization -- in general, with digital audio, you're trying to squeeze
as much performance out of your computer as possible.  Running anything
inside a virtual machine adds a lot of overhead (extra RAM, CPU, and a lot
of extra work for disk I/O, among other things -- the later is really going
to hurt you).

So, it may be possible, but I don't think it's a good idea.
