This seems to work fine, but my main issue is that during debugging, when the audio file is loaded, it throws a LoaderLock exception. After Googling, it seemed safe to turn disable the exception - however, I&#39;m just concerned about what exactly a LoaderLock exception <em>is</em> - I&#39;m always wary of anything being thrown. I&#39;m also wondering if there are any negative effects of using the DirectX playback in an XNA game, regarding memory or security or anything of the sort.<br /> <br /> Thanks for any help on the matter.<br />
