Wow, that is a LONG time. No, while Linux is booting its impossible to do as you want, well, at least not likely.
Once Linux is done boot, its easy. Seeing how it should take about 10 seconds for Linux to boot, you'll just have to suck it up until its done. Once its done, it passes control off to /bin/init, which will continue the boot process, as in, load up the operating system. Init usually uses boot scripts, and most distros make it easy to add new boot scripts to allow you to do as you want. Still, some distros use a boot procedure in which it randomly starts scripts, in which case, you'll need a lot of time on your hands to do as you want.
Either way, why bother? Plus, as you mentioned, your drivers are not even included in your Linux, meaning you'll have to wait for init to load them, setup the sound system, and even then, some inits are not parallel, so you'll have to wait for the song to finish before init can actually move on, so all you end up doing is increasing boot time, and still no sound while its doing other things.
Really, its not worth it unless your a distribution, in which case, you can maintain it. The main way of doing what you want will probably include modifying your distro in ways that its not meant to be done, requiring that you essentially fork off the distro just be able to maintain things, lots of work for such a minor problem. Do what the rest of us do, go make a sandwich or stand up and do some exercises.
