Simple background sound effect playback

[Jacob Kruger]

Ok, trying simple code from a pygame tutorial snippet - nothing happens - just silent, but with no errors being returned:

# play a sound to the left, to the right and to the center

# import the time standard module
import time

# import the pygame module
import pygame


# start pygame
pygame.init()

# load a sound file into memory
sound = pygame.mixer.Sound("bird.ogg")

# start playing the sound
# and remember on which channel it is being played
channel = sound.play()
# set the volume of the channel
# so the sound is only heard to the left
channel.set_volume(1, 0)
# wait for 1 second
time.sleep(1)

# do the same to the right
channel = sound.play()
channel.set_volume(0, 1)
time.sleep(1)

# do the same to the center
channel = sound.play()
channel.set_volume(1, 1)
time.sleep(1)
#end code

Think this is why ignored pygame in past...<smile> - think it actually needs more than itself to be installed, or something.
