[MonoDevelop] How to Embed a Configuration File in an Assembly?

OK...in fact, I was hunting for the Assembly class, which turned out to be 
placed in System.Reflection.

The example seems to work...but I don't hear any sounds. :-( Here's my 
sourcecode:

using System;
using System.Media;
using System.IO;
using System.Reflection;
using Gtk;

namespace iwawi
{
	
	///<summary>
	///Static utility class playing sounds.
	///</summary>
	public class SoundPlayer
	{
		
		private SoundPlayer()
		{
		}
		
		///<summary>
		///Plays a sound to indicate success.
		///</summary>
		public static void PlaySuccessSound()
		{
			Assembly a = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
			Stream s = a.GetManifestResourceStream("success.wav");
			System.Media.SoundPlayer sp = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(s);
			sp.Play();
		}
	}
}

Everrything except the sp.Play() method works fine. In fact, this problem 
seems to appear on Microsoft .NET as well (see 
http://www.groupsrv.com/dotnet/post-722330.html). Maybe this is a matter for 
the Mono developers themselves, as at some point, Mono has to call native 
methods of the sound system (aRts in my case)...
