Playing Multiple Sounds Without Using DirectX

Is it possible to stream more than two sounds simultaneously in .NET without using DirectX?

To obtain foreground and background effects I currently use the following:

' Background music
Private bkMusic As New SoundPlayer(My.Resources.bkm)


[CODE]..................

SoundPlayer is a wrap around to the win32 API:

Private Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long

While for actual in game sound effects I am using a class that implements:

Private Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mciSendStringA" (ByVal lpszCommand As String, ByVal lpszReturnString As String, ByVal cchReturnLength As Long, ByVal hwndCallback As Long) As Long

It works. 1 snd effect at a time overlapping / mixing with the background music. But I am on the hunt for a better method which allows me to stream multiple snd effects simultaneously. DirectX is not an option, because most people (my audience) don't have the SDK (software development kit)
