First, you should copy fmod.dll to a directory somewhere where
LoadLibrary can find it.  That includes directories on PATH, plus the
directory where the executable is.  python/DLLs does probably not work.

The fmod.dll that I just downloaded has a function named
'_FSOUND_Sample_Load at 20', which indicates an api change (the number of
the '@' sign indicates how many bytes are needed as parameters).

Probably pyFMOD needs an older version of fmod.dll, or pyFMOD should be
updated?
