Re: [pygame] CD Audio

[Michael George <mdgeorge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some don't ship with that anymore.  I know it took me a while to figure 
that out when we installed linux on my sister's new computer.  windows 
media players seem to read the audio and pipe it to the sound card, 
probably so they can do visualizations and stuff, whereas by default the 
players we were using on linux still just played the CD.
