That is so very true...

Try FMOD (www.fmod.org)
Very easy sound API to use.

FMOD is damn good. It's very cross-platform too (includes support for things as varied as PS2 and XBox, IIRC).
To play an MP3 with FMOD (function call by function call):
Init FMOD
Load the MP3 file
Play the MP3 file
Shutdown FMOD
Yes, that's 4 calls to play an MP3.
DirectShow is one of the more painful systems you could ever hope to use - I'd avoid it unless you're playing movies (in which case, it's that or VfW).
