You need to wrap OpenAL a little to get something so simple.

In my Castle Game Engine (http://castle-engine.sourceforge.net/), I have 
SoundEngine wrapper, with which you can play sound like

   Buffer := SoundEngine.LoadBuffer(FileName);
   SoundEngine.PlaySound(Buffer, false, ...);

See working example in SVN on 
http://svn.code.sf.net/p/castle-engine/code/trunk/castle_game_engine/examples/audio/alplay.lpr

You may want to look at the source (LGPL) to see how it's done :)
