I am running Csound 6.02.0 now in Ubuntu 14.04 on a Virtual Machine (on my
Mac), but the sound is quite bad - some short bursts of sound.
What are preferred audio settings on Ubuntu? Alsa? Pulse audio? Buffer
sizes?

I use jack now for all my audio. I can get very low buffer sizes, but
perhaps your problem is that you are running it on a virtual machine?
Steven and Victor can tell you more, they've gone VM mad lately!

I used to use the ALSA driver when I was running Linux full-time. I
think that using a VM will definitely slow things down. I use pretty
much default settings when I run csound/blue in a VM on my Mac (I
think I have pa_bl as my driver).  I'd try using -b 256 or higher
(512, 1024, 2048) and just experiment.  However, when I use VM's to
test, it's really just for testing and I haven't really optimized it
much.
