Okay, I realized I could just call a bash script that ends in & to play 
the sounds async to procmail, that's half the question.

Now my question is narrower and doesn't involve procmail:

if I fork bplay several times, it doesn't "mix" the sounds: they 
still play out synchronously, even though the caller isn't blocked.

Is there a sound utility that will play a WAV file in an "overlapped 
way" -- so that I can get my "rapid fire clicking effect".  I know alsa 
can do this: I play XMMS and Festival and MPlayer all simultaneously.  
How can I do that from the command line with a WAV?
