Here's a quick explanation.

Since the stereo sound array is two dimensional we can index it along
two axis. It may look a little simpler with something like samples[0,0],
which means the first sample of the first channel. 

Any regular slice operation can be applied to each axis. So something
like [:,:] would just be the full array. The syntax can get a little
crazy, but it follows some manner of logic.
