NAudio - Playback stops if called Play() again

Question

I'm programming a game and using NAudio with WaveOut. The sound is played when a collision occurs. The problem is the sound plays some times and after a few seconds if the collision happens again, the sound isn't played. I'm using this code.

WaveOut device = new WaveOut();
WaveStream source = new Mp3FileReader("hit.mp3");

device.Init(source);

And to play it,

source.Position = 0;
source.CurrentTime = TimeSpan.Zero;
device.Play();

Am I forgetting anything?

Thanks.

Dose you make new `WaveOut device = new WaveOut();` and `WaveStream source` for each paly? — KF2, Apr 11 '13 at 14:56
No. They are made only once. The device is a class level variable and I'll play it by calling the above statements. — Sri Harsha Chilakapati, Apr 11 '13 at 14:59
@IRSOG No. No exception is thrown. The sound plays for 10-15 times and then it never plays again. — Sri Harsha Chilakapati, Apr 11 '13 at 15:00
@IRSOG I can't create new instance of it every time. The main game slows down. — Sri Harsha Chilakapati, Apr 11 '13 at 15:03
Got it working. It's playing if I call `Init()` again before each play. — Sri Harsha Chilakapati, Apr 11 '13 at 15:09
you dispose sound after it's played.test it,but instead of using it's better using fmod some of popular game engine use fmod.i use it a lot,its very good for this — KF2, Apr 11 '13 at 15:09

Try take a look at this instruction, by Mark Heath, on how to use NAudio for "fire and forget" audio playback:

Thanks for the answer, but I've already started using OpenAL. – Sri Harsha Chilakapati Jul 09 '14 at 05:50
