c# play sound with one line of c# code

Question

I'm playing a game with some others coders. You get to write one oneline of C# and as many xaml lines as you want.

Anyone know how to play a sound in one line before the semi-colon;

This is as close as I can get so far

    SoundPlayer simpleSound = new SoundPlayer(@"c:\Media\pacman.wav");
    simpleSound.Play();

Edit: tried Blorgbeard's code, but sound isn't playing for some reason

if (Listbox.SelectedItem.ToString() == "2 Good 2 B True")
{
    try
    {
        (new SoundPlayer(@"/Project;component/sounds/pacman.wav")).Play();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.Error.WriteLine(ex.Message); 
    }

}

Because...you're hoping the sound will play faster if you use less lines of code? — Cody Gray - on strike, Apr 22 '11 at 15:26
Nope just some fun at work. It seems to be turning out to like a Monty Python animation. — rd42, Apr 24 '11 at 11:13

No need for a variable:

(new SoundPlayer(@"c:\Media\pacman.wav")).Play();

I'm sure it works but I'm still not hearing anything. No errors either. see edit above with code. – rd42 Apr 22 '11 at 15:30
@rd42 Does it work if you do it in two lines with the same filename? – Blorgbeard Apr 22 '11 at 16:45
@Rd42 are you sure your speakers are turned on? – Thomas Dignan Apr 22 '11 at 19:02
It was my path. When I hard coded the path c:\blah blah blah it works, but the /Project;component/sounds/pacman.wav doesn't. Any ideas? – rd42 Apr 22 '11 at 20:39

Blorgbeard's code works for me if I use PlaySync() instead of Play():

(new SoundPlayer(soundFile)).PlaySync();

Play() plays sound in another thread. This may be the issue.
