   My guess is that when called from at, your script will call play which   
   will not, as you assume, use pulsaudio. Instead I guess that play uses   
   some other, older audio device like /dev/audio which is blocked by some   
   other application (pulseaudio?). When that other application releases the   
   device play will get to play its sound.   
      
   On the manpage of play is a description of the environment variable   
   AUDIODEV that can be used to tell play which audio device to use.
