Okay, this is technically not a bug. If the string is not a valid file
path then it is assumed to be sound data. This has to be fixed somehow.

Hi Gumm,
You have found a bug. pygame.mixer.Sound does handle ogg/vorbis files.
But it doesn't raise an exception when it can't find the file. Also,
on Windows you may find that calling pygame.init() before
pygame.mixer.init() will prevent playback, no sound. Either remove
pygame.init, place it after pygame.mixer.init or set the
SDL_AUDIODRIVER environment variable to 'waveout'.

Howdy, folks.
Seeking enlightenment. Anyone seen this before, and how do I rassle
it into submission? Docs and web have been unhelpful so far. I'm
using pre-built software packages; been using these for months
without any issues.
This problem occurs with all ogg and wav files. I see that Numpy is
raising the exception, but I can't tell if it's a problem internal to
Numpy or a result of how numpysnd.array is using Numpy.
Summary:
1. load OGG-Vorbis sound file with pygame.mixer.Sound
2. convert sound using pygame.sndarray.array
3. scratch head
<CODE>
import os, sys, numpy, pygame
from pygame.locals import *
pygame.init()
pygame.mixer.init(44100, 16, 2, 1)
sound = pygame.mixer.Sound('../sounds/laser_26667.ogg')
for n,v in [('OS',os.name
<http://os.name>),('Python',sys.version),('Pygame',pygame.version.vernum),
('Numpy',numpy.version.version),('Array
type',pygame.sndarray.get_arraytype())]:
print '%s: %s' % (n,v)
sound_data = pygame.sndarray.array(sound)
</CODE>

Any assistance appreciated.
