MP3 is pretty widely supported, but on Windows, it's played with
DirectMedia instead of DirectSound.  That brings a number of
limitations, for example, you can't play multiple such sounds at once,
and I don't think you can adjust the pan either.  So for something like
mood music it's fine, but for sound effects, WAV is a better choice.

Best,
