NSSound isn't useful for much besides playing alert sounds, really. Unfortunately there's a wide chasm between it and the "real" audio APIs.


If you can live with Leopard-only compatibility, AudioQueue is your next best bet. It will save you from having to deal with wiring together AudioUnits or running your code on background threads. But even with that, "yesterday" is not a realistic goal for learning the ropes and getting something running. Plan on a month or two.
