Hi Ramesh, Check if the music playing application supports anything for this, using command line arguments. Some players have options to release the audio device after playing each song and before taking up the next song in the list, while some don't release the device until they are either stopped or closed or killed.
Play an audio CD (don't use any application to play the CD, just with the butons on the CD driver) and simultaneously use the messenger, you should be able to hear both the sounds together. I think this should work, and tell me if you hear the sound.
