I used MediaPlayer. I have class with private static final MediaPlayer
and method which plays sound.

Code:

   
 private static final MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();

 public static void playSample(Context context, int resid) {
         AssetFileDescriptor afd = context.getResources().openRawResourceFd(resid);
         try {
             mediaPlayer.reset();
             mediaPlayer.setDataSource(afd.getFileDescriptor(), afd.getStartOffset(), afd.getDeclaredLength());
             mediaPlayer.prepare();
             mediaPlayer.start();
             afd.close();
         } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
             ....
         } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
             ....
         } catch (IOException e) {
             ....
         }
     }

I done it this way because of ListView items are collected with garbage collector during scrolling (when they get out of screen).

In next update i'll try to implement concurrent playback of sounds. I have some problems with it.
