[pygame] Clarification of mixer/channel/music_mixer objects...

[Gareth Noyce <gareth.noyce@ukonline.co.uk>]

Hi all!

Following on from a discussion Jan and I were 
having, I was wondering if anyone could clarify 
what support PyGames array of sound objects have 
for stereo placement? Ie, does a channel object 
have a range of positions from far-left to far-
right in the stereo space, or does it always play 
accross both channels (center)?

If so, how do you set this placement? I couldn't 
see anything in the docs (although I am short-
sighted!) that explained...

In addition, does the mixer_music object only 
support playback of a large streamed wav file? No 
other formats (Ogg/Mp3)? 

Reason being; I was curious about writing some 
ambiant background tracks for Civil, but if it's 
a streamed format then the file would have to be 
_huge_ to not get boring over time... MP3 would 
save some space but MOD/X3M format support would 
be ace and cut down file size tremendously...

Thanks in advance
