[pygame] Noob question: playing sounds



Just trying to get started with pygame and stuck at square 1. All I want to do is play sounds on a Raspberry Pi (Raspbian). No screen. Nothing visual. So I do:
import pygame, os, sys
from pygame.locals import *

os.environ["SDL_VIDEODRIVER"] = "dummy"

pygame.mixer.init()
sound = pygame.mixer.Sound("Exclamation.wav")
sound.play(loops = 0)
while pygame.mixer.music.get_busy() == True:
    continue
Having saved it in file try.py, I do
python try.py
and get
xcb_connection_has_error() returned true
Yes, I've done an apt-get update and upgrade. I can make sounds with Sonic Pi but this produces nothing. Googling the error seemed to give no relevant results. Can someone give me a hint please?
