[ale] usb headset and virtualbox

[Todor Fassl]

Bummer. I upgraded to 5.0 because of a bug in 4.3 that caused vb to fail 
to recognize when the host had vt-x turned on. I couldn't create any 
64-bit vms because of that bug. As I recall, it recognized my USB 
headsets though.

Well, as I said in another message, a third USB headset worked. Maybe 
they'll get both bugs fixed in some future release.
