MediaElement bugs out when using it more times

Question

Greetings fellow developers,
I am having an issue with MediaElement, when trying to run more of those at once.
var storageFile = await Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation.GetFileAsync(filePath);
var stream = await storageFile.OpenReadAsync();
MediaElement soundEffect = new MediaElement();
soundEffect.SetSource(stream, storageFile.ContentType);
soundEffect.Play();
Whenever I try to play some soundeffects, let's say like 8 of them, what happens is:
1. At start, all soundEffects are playing and overlapping as intended
2. After few more MediaElements, all soundEffects just stop playing and get replaced by the one I played last.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Raxume,
As far as I known, Windows Phone only supports play sound from one MediaElement
at one time. If you want to play many sounds at the same time, I will recommand you use the
SoundEffect Class.
