 I've yet to do something like this yet so I'm just kind of trying to think
through where there may be a conflict and suggesting a minimal config
before expanding it.

 If commenting out the line above gets you a console on that terminal then
try making that line look like this:

s1:234:respawn:/usr/local/bin/mp3blaster /dev/ttyS0

 If that works then try making similar changes to the s2 and s3 lines.
