hi aquarius, this was a bug in the 1.0 release. if you grab 
the code from cvs, you'll see it's been fixed up.

also, in you code, you should use "file = open(...).read()"
not readlines. the StringIO object works over a single
string representing the entire data. readlines() returns
a list of strings, and i'm sure the results are pretty odd
with a binary file. (i'm surprised that didn't give a
python error?)

checking the "WhatsNew" log ( http://www.pygame.org/WhatsNew )
it shows that this was fixed back on April 30th. thanks for the
bug report though, if this was the first i'd heard about this
problem i'd be going into "maintainer panic mode" :]
