Funny you should mention that.  I never had that problem until recently
when I moved to a much faster system than I had been using.  Suddenly,
just as the filter's wav file would start to play, it would get cut off
by the default sound (another wav file) I had selected to signal any
incoming mail.  I kludged around the problem by changing my filter
actions a bit.  After playing the filter's sound but before sending the
message to a folder, I change its status from 'Unread' to 'Read' and
back to 'Unread' again. This causes enough of a delay so that I can
hear the filter's wav file before the default sound for incoming mail
plays.  A nice feature enhancement to PMMail would be to allow the
incoming mail sound settings to be set on a folder by folder basis.
