I would have to say that this is one of the best possible approaches.
The one I used for Xhedgehog and GNUdius is probably not-as-good. It
involves a separate daemon being spawned (xhsound) which listens on a
pipe for incoming requests. The requests are one-byte integers
indicating which of a predetermined set of sound effects kept in memory
are to be played. Probably a little better but not by much than the
other sound daemon methods you described.
