the site appeared to be down when i tried that url.. anyways, to sum it up:
there are severeal potential crossplatform sound libraries which would suit
python just fine. among them are libao (gpl), libsdl (lgpl), mpg123 output
routines (gpl), portaudio(?). writing python bindings for any of these
should be no problem, but it needs to be integrated into the python core
before it's really useable (to easen up things for users).
