Um, if smpeg is installed, pygame's mixer will play
mp3s.  You don't need to use the movie module.  Unless
something has changed since pygame 1.0.

Mixer is a frontend to different music decoders, ogg,
mod, midi, mp3, wav.  If you don't have the decoders
in the right place when you build mixer, it won't
compile with support for those formats.
