Resizing EXT3 is very reliable, and it's reasonably fast.

I've not had any sound issues with VirtualBox, and for me it even supports AMD's virtual mode extension (vme).

Alternately, the easiest way to resize a partition would probably be with gparted. Pop in an Ubuntu livecd and gparted will have an option to resize the partition. Note: on windows, usually you defrag the partition first. ext3 doesn't have a utility to defragment (ext3 never becomes fragmented, right?) so I'm not sure how reliable the resize process is.
