to have a more streamlined work flow

searched
- Audio recording: Now using Vorbis as the default audio format for WebM containers. Opus
is no longer being used.
- Audio: Added “default” host driver type to make it possible to move VMs (appliances)
between different platforms without the need of changing the audio driver explicitly. When
the “default” driver is selected, the best audio backend option for a platform will be used.
This is the default for newly created VMs.

Linux guests

allow running VMS even when a usser is not being logged in (disabled by default, please
consult the manual)
