Oh, I thought the player would read from the begining of the file, and 
so do the seek(0) itself...
Shouldn't that be in the docs?

Say I want to check the file type before sending it to the player. I do 
a f.read(3) to see any magic number here. And after that, I do a 
snd=Sound(f), and it doesn't work!
Now that I think about it, I think I came on a bug like that at a time...

In my real program, I don't know if that file will be the one used or 
not. In fact, I didn't see the problem because it would occur only if I 
played the same file twice (I didn't do it in my tests).


Now that works, thanks!
