Your system has a Intel-HDA audio interface, without hardware mixing of 
several concurrent streams. The solution is to use a software mixing solution 
like the ALSA dmix plugin, or PulseAudio. If you don't want to use Pulse, 
then create a file named ".asoundrc" in your home directory, with this 
content:

pcm.dmixer {
  type plug
  slave.pcm "dmix"
  hint {
    show on
    description "DMix: ALSA Software Mixer"
  }
}

Select this device in Phonon configuration. For other ALSA applications, 
configure the programs to use the device names "plug:dmix", or "dmixer". For 
instance:

$ speaker-text -t wav -D dmixer

Pedro
