Hmm .. Just checked, and pygame-1.4 does not seem to support MP3s ...

$ python
Python 2.2 (#2, Feb 25 2002, 20:10:48)
[GCC 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
>>> import pygame.mixer
>>> pygame.mixer.init()
>>> sf = pygame.mixer.Sound('test/test.mp3')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  pygame.error: Unrecognized file type (not VOC)
>>>

I've also just asked on the pygame-users list, and am awaiting
replies. Thanks !
