Re: [pygame] pygame music

[Lenard Lindstrom <len-l@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have added set_pos to pygame.mixer.music in svn rev 2809. Other than a 
quick check that it causes an mp3 file to skip forward while playing it 
is quite untested. Updating pygame.mixer.music.play to call 
Mix_FadeInMusicPos will follow. This should be safe as Mix_PlayMusic 
simply wraps a call to Mix_FadeInMusicPos.
