Hit Ctrl+Z if you're running a foreground program. Your shell will
say something like "[1]+ Stopped". If you type bg, that program
will go into the background. fg again will move it to the 
foreground once more. lynx/links are examples of foreground
programs.

Is play running in the other VT during all of this?

What does "jobs" say?

Yes. It works here.
