Trisquel in Virtualbox = no audio

I have installed trisquel 6.0.1 in virtualbox but there is no audio.
Other distros (Ubuntu,..) have audio.
What I have found out so far is that apparently the correct sound module is not loaded, nor is it available to load.
Virtualbox uses AC97 audio so I need the module "snd_ac97_codec" and/or "snd_intel8x0" (at least htey are loaded on a Ubuntu installation on VirtualBox)
output of aplay -l
aplay: device_list:252: no soundcards found
some more information: I installed it with "linux-image-virtual" kernel. I think the needed modules arent't included there.
Try installing the linux-image-extra-virtual package.
Note that Virtualbox will not be included in Trisquel 7 because the new version has a non-free build dependency.

You can install virtualbox-guest-* packages (most probably, they won't be available in Trisquel 7 repos).
There is an excellent reason for that: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/multiverse/v/virtualbox-guest-additions-iso/virtualbox-guest-additions-iso_4.1.12-1/copyright
§ 2 (2) of the VirtualBox PUEL license only allows the redistribution of "unmodified copies of the ISO installation medium", but not the source code.
Actually, the GNU/Linux version is free software: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/multiverse/v/virtualbox-guest-source/virtualbox-guest-source_4.2.10-dfsg-0ubuntu2/copyright
It's just that Virtualbox requires a nonfree compiler to build, so it won't be in Trisquel 7.
