Playing .mp3 file in WP8 device not working - audio

Question

I am using following example to record an audio on Windows 8 app: http://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2013/03/21/audio-in-a-windows-store-app.aspx. It uses the Windows Runtime Media API to record audio.
The example works nice but I have a problem. I use the example to record an audio, but if I try to play the recorded audio in a Windows Phone 8 device (tested on Nokia Lumia 820 and 920) using MediaElement control it doesn't work (I hear some noice similar to an alien conversation). It does work correctly on the WP8 emulator.
I have also tried to record an audio using the Sound Recorder app that comes with Windows 8 and I have the same problem: it doesn't hear correctly on Nokia Lumia 820 and 920.
This is the code I use the play the audio file in XAML:
MediaElement Name="media" AutoPlay="True" Source="XXX.mp3"
Do you have any idea why?
Many thanks.

As I, and many, many others have posted on Stack Overflow already, the Media Element is really buggy and is not suggested for playing any source that is dynamic.
Instead, follow this blog post that I wrote on playing sound effects on the Windows Phone
Playing SFX on The Windows Phone
This is the executive summary of the post
static Stream stream1 = TitleContainer.OpenStream("soundeffect.wav");
static SoundEffect sfx = SoundEffect.FromStream(stream1);
static SoundEffectInstance soundEffect = sfx.CreateInstance();
public void playSound(){
FrameworkDispatcher.Update();
soundEffect.Play();
}
