I haven't used netjack yet but recently several people have reported
success with it on multiple machines on the jack-devel list.

If you can install jack and run it on the vm and you have a network
connection then netjack should work. The only possible issue I can think
of is if the network-bridge does not allow you to find the internal
ports of the host machine.
