The issue with any VM is whether or not the applications that handle
media will have sufficiently stable timing. Sending (and to a lesser
extent receiving) RTP streams requires that you be able to process
packets at very regular intervals (if I recall, our default is 20ms).
Audio quality degrades fairly quickly if the VM context switching gets
in the way of that.
So... the critical thing to test is whether or not your media quality
for applications that need it (ACD, Voicemail, music-on-hold) is
acceptable when multiple VMs are doing it at the same time.
Your mileage may vary.
