Listen to Robert's advice, and most importantly, if you don't have a need to manipulate the sounds during the game (e.g. Robert changes the pitch dynamically in his game) stay away from the SoundPool. Simply build your own sound pool based on MediaPlayer instances - I know it works. It probably consumes more resources but you can't trade safety for resource consumption. Also, there's a remote possibility that in a OTA update the SoundPool might disappear and/or be replaced by an incompatible class, which will break your game.
