Re: Procmailrc to play sound async when message arrives
if I fork bplay several times, it doesn't mix the sounds: they still play out synchronously, even though the caller isn't blocked. I've experienced this with OSS emulation on ALSA. Perhaps playing the sound with 'aplay' instead helps? If not, consider configuring the 'dmix' plug-in for ALSA.

Perhaps in 2.2.1 my card is now an option and maybe it supports PnP that would make obtaining sound easier? The PnP-stuff in 2.2-kernels is only about some parallel port stuff.

Some systems will require an entry on the boot line or use the tecra rescue disk like the lap top systems need. Search the archives at www.debian.org for the source of a new rescue disk if you have a aha27xx disk controler.

What I'll try is booting up with a few more combinations of hardware device disabled, to see if this works.
