Fedora has the same annoying system beep. Here's how I got rid of it. Maybe it will work for you too.
$ rmmod pcspkr
Then, edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add the following at the end:
# annoying pc speaker blacklist pcspkr

This won't work in openSUSE, because pcspkr isn't compiled as a module. A possible solution though is to have an ~/.inputrc with "set bell-style none".

Did VB really work for you with USB in 11.0? What I'm trying to accomplish is connection a Nokia phone to my laptop and have my Windows Vista guest recognize it, but I can't manage to make it work. I am using v.2.0.6. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I assume that you have fixed the USB already and you can see the USB devices in the VBox menu? If not you need the latest full version RPM (2.1.0) from virtualbox.org. Then install it and:
I always use the openSUSE RPMs provided on virtualbox.org. I have had problems in the past with the "official" suse packages. Also not that I always use the full version not the semi-cutdown OSE version which lacks USB support. I think suse packages the OSE version. http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions

Hah! That's why, I guess, I didn't get it to work. I was using the opensuse packages and I thought the USB feature was now part of the opensource feature stack :(

If you go ahead and install the virtualbox.org RPM be sure to remove all of the opensuse virtualbox stuff first because they will conflict and the virtualbox.org rpm won't push the suse stuff for uninstall automatically.

Well Skype seems to work for me fine on 11.1, but I have to agree DVD burning is broken. In addition to this wireless doesn't seem to work for me, even with madwifi, used to work with 11.0.

Skype only works if I remove /etc/asound-pulse.conf . Is that the case with your setup or do you config skype in some way to work with PulseAudio propely?

You have to blacklist the new ath5k module before madwifi will be allowed load and take over your wireless. I got stung with this one.
