I've tested loading MP3 and OGG as music from file-objects on both Windows and Mac OS X using pygame SDL_Mixer 1.2.8, and SDL_Mixer failed to load them.
So if SDL_Mixer 1.2.8 is supposed to support them, then something else is broken.
Forrest, you said earlier on this list you were able to load & play Wav & OGG with SDL_mixer SVN and that the current SDL_Mixer (1.2.8 at the time) only supports MikMod (meaning MOD), which matches my experience and indicates that the uncoming 1.2.9 is required for WAV & OGG & MP3 support... has something changed your mind since you posted about mixer's level of support?
Also, can you confirm that you have successfully loaded MP3, OGG & MID from a file using pygame over SDL_Mixer 1.2.8? If so, what platforms and what specific music files?

I think it should be >=1.2.8.
There is support for MP3, OGG, MID, and MOD in 1.2.8. All 1.2.9 will add is WAV.
