How do I get a simple sound to play in Silverlight?

Question

I want to play a simple sound. I'm not getting any exceptions, but the sound just isn't playing

<MediaElement Source="sounds/Laser.mp3" Volume="1"  AutoPlay="True" x:Name="Laser" />

Calling the Play() method doesn't work either.

Laser.Play();

My best guess is that the Build action needs to be set to "Resource". But here is an excellent article that explains how to add sound (Silverlight 2).
