[Mono-list] System.Media.SoundPlayer performing badly on Linux?

[Chris Howie]

I've been experimenting with SoundPlayer as a possible cross-platform
backend for notifications in Gazebo.  Unfortunately it seems quite
lacking on Linux.  When playing a sound, no matter the source, it
skips very badly, making the sound agonizing to listen to.

I am using Mono 2.0.1, but since the file was last changed in 2007 in
SVN I do not expect newer Mono versions to do better.  Can anyone else
confirm this behavior?
