I had encouter the same probleme with MP3 file. The best way is to consider
it as a movie an instantiate a NSMovie. Then you can play it in a
NSMovieView. You can play it without add the movieView to a window. Just
instanciate programatically a NSMovieView, and send a play message to it.
That works with any file QuickTime can read, so it need to work with
SystemSound file.

My guess is that if the Finder can read it just fine, I guess I can do
