Very simple solution, install music123 from repo and set up a hotkey in
Gnome.  Just tested with a gunshot sound from
http://www.freesound.org/forum/index.php?sid=881d1a01c51c2a1f428561754762892b

and set to ctrl+F1.

I renamed the file gg.wav and set the hotkey to "music123
/home/steve/Downloads/gg.wav" without the quotes, there appears to be no
latency!
