in the latest version of pygame (v1.5) you can specify a starting 
position when playing music. (this also requires a recent SDL_mixer)

     pygame.mixer.music.play(loops=0, startpos=0.0) -> None
     http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/pygame_mixer_music.html#play

the starting time works as "seconds" for OGG and MP3. to start at 
1:12 you would call something like this...

     pygame.mixer.music.play(0, 1 + (12 / 60.0))
