Pygame can load the sound formats that SDL_mixer supports. This includes
sampled data like WAV, VOC, AIFF, MP3, and OGG. There are also a lot of
tracker style formats like MOD, XM, XT, MIDI.

MP3 support is tricky because the SMPEG library doesn't compile well
with MSVC. It is also a bit unsupported and can't handle things like
id3v2 tags.
