 AudioSource audioSource = gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSource>();
 audioSource.clip = Resources.Load(name) as AudioClip;
 audioSource.Play();

You need to have a clip assigned. In this example, I use Resources.Load(), but you could just use an assigned AudioClip or something like that.

Cheers ;)

to use Resources.Load(name) do you need the prefab in be in a specific folder?

Resources.Load loads assets from an existing Resourses folder under your Assets folder. (Assets/Resources)

You can still have subfolders like Assets/Resources/Textures

Then you will need to do something like this: Resources.Load("Textures/diffuse");

For those on 2017.1 version this is a solution which works for first line, as per updated API for library function for AddComponent

 var audioSource : AudioSource = gameObject.AddComponent.<AudioSource>() as AudioSource;

create audioSource via script?
