[pygame] Re: Some way to pickle or otherwise save a pygame.mixer.Sound object?

Sorry, I left out the line where I try to save the file:

> pickle.dump( sound_obj, open( "sound.pickled", "wb" ) )

I'm building a musical horn for my car with PyGame, and it works perfectly, but since it needs to load each of the 20 sounds on startup it takes about 30 seconds to load. I'm running it on a Raspberry Pi, which doesn't help of course.

I thought I'd simply save the Sound objects as pickle objects, but that produces an error:

> sound_obj = pygame.mixer.Sound("whatever.wav")

I also tried the dill module (https://github.com/uqfoundation/dill) but with similar results:

> sound_obj = pygame.mixer.Sound("whatever.wav")

I don't imagine can think of some clever way to save the preloaded Sounds, or otherwise speed up the load times?
