Ian, as far as I understand, I am calling it just once in both
methods. I am using the 'loops=-1' argument of play() to hold (or
repeat) the note:

def play_maxtime(sound, duration):
   sound.play(loops=-1, maxtime=duration)
   pygame.time.delay(duration)

def play_loops(sound, duration):
   sound.play(loops=-1)
   pygame.time.delay(duration)
   sound.stop()

I guess, play() knows ho to do the 'loops' correctly?
