Its not a bug in aMSN. Same thing happens when rhythmbox is playing or is paused and you try to play something in VLC.
It's like rhythmbox stelas the device while playing.

Terminal outputs while playing music in rhythmbox:

niclas@laptop:/usr/share/sounds/gtk-events$ aplay error.wav
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
aplay: main:546: fel vid öppning av ljud: Enhet eller resurs upptagen
