I've just tried it and it screws up (doesn't get suspended though). mutt will run in the window you start it from so needs to be in the foreground.

It seems use /dev/cdrom as the default device for the CD. Check the man page for wmcdplay, there may be a command line option to override it. If not, then you can always symlink /dev/cdrom to your actual CD device (possibly /dev/wcd0, check dmesg to find out). > x11amp is reacting wierd also.
