The change in a7f8965 to allow mp3s as valid samples should also be reflected in the relevant parts of the documentation, such as:

sonic-pi/app/server/ruby/lib/sonicpi/lang/sound.rb

Line 2531 in 32cdbcb

doc: "Play back a recorded sound file (sample). Sonic Pi comes with lots of great samples included (see the section under help) but you can also load and play `.wav`, `.wave`, `.aif`, `.aiff`, `.ogg`, `.oga` or `.flac` files from anywhere on your computer too. To play a built-in sample use the corresponding keyword such as `sample :bd_haus`. To play any file on your computer use a full path such as `sample \"/path/to/sample.wav\"`.

(as well as lines 2117, 2135, 2165, 2281, 2751, and 3455 of the same file), and

sonic-pi/etc/doc/tutorial/03.6-External-Samples.md

Line 28 in 32cdbcb

So how do you play any arbitrary WAV, AIFF, OGG, OGA or FLAC file on your computer?
