is there a clean way to play an mp3 sound in the compact framework 3.5

Solution
CF Framework 3.5 now includes support for playing .WAV files:
Namespace System.Media.SoundPlayer
Short WAV files for cues and sound-effects might even play faster than MP3s since they're "ready-to-play"...
Problem
I use the p/invoke method to play `wav` sounds. There are ways of calling windows media player to play an `mp3` sound, but its slow & cumbersome. Is there an easy way to play a short `mp3` file? This is primarily for application prompting and audible cues when you are not looking at the screen and not music. Thanks!
