Re: [pygame] Pygame and mp3 files

Hi René,

I used the latest smpeg from SVN and it still crashes. I suspect the 
problem is not limited to Debian, but Debian's free() catches it. 
Deprecating smpeg deprecates mp3. The replacement is libmad, a GPL 
library. An alternative to disabling the test is for someone outside the 
Greater USA to create a new house_lo.mp3 with different options to see 
if it works. I agree about a warning in the documents.
