IIRC, play-sound also takes a boolean argument indicating whether the 
sound is to be played asynchronously.  What did you pass here?  Also, 
what platform is this?

FWIW, two sounds simultaneously worked fine for me on OS X with 
asynchronous-play set to #t. In fact, I'm currently suffering through 
two simultaneous copies of Jawbox' 'Savory', started with a 4 second 
delay.  Actually, I'm kind of enjoying it.
