Slow start for AVAudioPlayer the first time a sound is played

by

The delay seems to be related to instantiating AVAudioPlayer for the first time. If I load any audio, run [audioPlayer prepareToPlay] and then immediately release it, the load times for all of my other audio is very close to imperceptible. So now I’m doing that in applicationDidFinishLaunching and everything else runs well.

I can’t find anything about this in the docs, but it certainly seems to be the case.
