I disagree. NSSound supports all the formats CoreAudio does, and normally for 
brief sounds people use AIFF.

I can't imagine any feature supporting _only_ MP3; it's an archaic format. 
Apple doesn't even provide an MP3 encoder in the OS, for complicated legal 
reasons. (Yes, iTunes/Music can encode MP3s, but that's because there's en 
encoder in the app, not accessible to other software.)
