Which program are you using to play the audio file? If you're using XMMS
in GNOME, right-click on the XMMS window (somewhere with blank space,
like between the "Eject" and "Rand" buttons), choose "Options" then
"Preferences". In the new window, make sure that "eSound Output Plugin"
is selected as the output plugin.

Sounds like it's got to do with ESD hogging your sound card.
