Very simple solution, install music123 from repo and set up a hotkey in Gnome. Just tested with a gunshot sound from http://www.freesound.org/forum/index.php?sid=881d1a01c51c2a1f428561754762892b and set to ctrl+F1. I renamed the file gg.wav and set the hotkey to "music123 /home/steve/Downloads/gg.wav" without the quotes, there appears to be no latency! Steve
