This example uses the AudioFile APIs to load in the samples, so WAV and AIFF
(and others) will work fine, MP3 will not because it needs decompression.
The fact that the audio files were not specified in AUMixer3DTest is not
broken code. We discussed this before release, and while we didn't want to
bloat the size of the installer package with large digital audio files, we
also didn't want to specify the system sounds which are all very short in
duration, and which aren't very nice to listen to when looped and layered
with other system sounds. It ends up being an unpleasant cacophony.
We wanted users to specify their own high-quality sounds to really showcase
the 3D Mixer's capabilities. Sure, the app will function with the system
sounds, but it won't give you a good feel for what the 3DMixer can really
do. Surely you've all got heaps of your own high-quality samples: try using
those for a really good experience.

Clearly this example should be updated with Kurt's fix :)
