Great!

Pygame doesn't use SDL_sound, only SDL_mixer.  You'd want SDL_sound only 
if you're going to be using the SDL.sound functions directly (outside of 
pygame).  I don't know of any binaries, but haven't looked.

Yes, but I'll be concentrating on my uni work for the next two months 
after SoC is finished, so expect development to slow down over that 
period.  If anyone wants to join in development now or later I'm happy 
to share the commit bits around ;-)
