SCSI errors while playing music and doing a tape backup

I am getting the following SCSI timeout error while I try to
do a dump (version 0.4b13) tape (Archive Python 25501-XXX
Rev: 5.45) backup and play music off my cdrom (Yamaha CRW6416S
Rev: 1.0b) using xmcd (version 2.2) all at the same time:

The music will stop, and the dump will ask to restart. I am
running Red Hat 6.1 (cartman) with the 2.2.15pre5 kernel. The
system has two NCR SCSI host controls: the hard disks are all
on host 0.

Temporary resolution is not to play music off of the CDROM
while doing tape backups. Playing MP3s does NOT cause any
such problems, so the problem does not appear to be related
to any sound issues.

If I play DOOM using the Dumb software (ldoom) on a tty screen,
instead of playing music, a similar problem does occur when
the ldoom program starts.

Some additional information: dmesg output at boot time:
