How can I play an MP3 from a memory stream in C#?

Question

I'm trying to play an MP3 sound but I need it played from a memory stream (I don't have the actual file). What's my best option to do this? mciSendString accepts a file name as a parameter but not a memory stream. Is is possible to play the mp3 file with winmm's PlaySound?

Thanks!

For Alvas.Audio see code below

//Memory stream with mp3 audio data
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
Mp3Reader mr = new Mp3Reader(ms);
PlayerEx plex = new PlayerEx();
plex.OpenPlayer(mr.ReadFormat());
plex.AddData(mr.ReadData());
plex.StartPlay();
