How to play a .wav sound?

[Erlend J. Leiknes]

Think this should work... not tested.

import os
def get_os():
    if (os.name == "nt" or os.name == "dos" or os.name == "cw"):
        return "ms"
    else:
        return "posix"

def playsound(file):
    if get_os() == "ms":
        import winsound
            winsound.PlaySound(file,winsound.SND_FILENAME)
    else:
        f = open(file,'r')
        sound_device = "/dev/dsp"
        d = open(sound_device,'w')
        sdata = f.read(1024)
        while sdata:
            d.write(sdata)
        f.close()
        d.close()
