I still favour the idea that Evolution is stalled waiting for audio access, 
because I see the same behaviour if xmms is active here and I start mplayer, 
it starts but there is not even a visible window for mplayer until I stop 
xmms.

I wonder then if it is the sound library that Evolution uses, as part of its 
init it wants access to the sound device?  

Somebody else mentioned esd, what kind of output are you using in xmms 
settings?  Is this in KDE?  Is artsd (ugh, I don't like the idea of artsd) 
running if so?
