The best way to accomplish this is have timeouts that are the _last_
command in a function.  Don't put the sound in the timeout, rather,
do the sound, then timeout for the next set of actions.

Function1 {
 (yada, yada)
 playsound
 setTimeout("Function2", 2000)
}

Function2 {
 (more stuff)
 playdifferentsound
 setTimeout("Function1", 2000)
}

etc.
