General state of audio support on MonoGame?

Hi:

I'm wondering what is the current state of MonoGame audio support on different platforms?

I've spent a few hours unsuccessfully (so far) getting sound to work on my simple MonoGame Mac project. In my efforts to fix it, I've come across some disconcerting posts, but some of them are a couple of years old and I don't know if they apply anymore.

FWIW, my current issue is the following on content.Load(...):
