[python-win32] Audio file playback solution

[Todd Fiske]

Hi Jacob,

The mp3play module is just a wrapper around the Windows Media Control
Interface [1]. I use it in a basic (wonky) AudioPlayer module I wrote that
combines it with a Tkinter frame. If you dig into it's windows.py module,
you'll see that it works by sending command strings with the mciSendStringA
Windows API function. My brief reading of the manual for the setaudio
command [2] says that it supports separate values for left and right
channels. It would take some experimentation but you could work out panning
by controlling the left and right volume factors relative to each other.
