i've also only read about the complexity of OpenAL, which i assume is even more low level in the sense that CoreAudio to OpenAL it's anologous to CoreAnimation to OpenGL.
regardless, is this NSSound lag a filed bug? it's seems really unfortunate that there is a 1-second lag in loading/executing a 30kb sound file for some apps using NSSound. while that previously mentioned workaround is more ideal than a lag, since it's problematic on macbooks it's not really a seamless solution.
