Thanks Lenard, I learned that today when I tried to subclass pygame.mixer.Channel and it didn't work and error said I was trying to subclass a method and not a class. :)
No need to change this on my behalf. As I wrote, my current implementation is to have my own separate class which just references the related pygame Channel object. So that's fine for me.
