[pygame] artsdsp and SDL mixer (was SDL-Mixer madness!)

["Andy Sy" <andy@netfxph.com>]

I've also gotten the pygame mixer to work by starting
the program with

'artsdsp python ./pygame-program-name.py'

However I've noticed that this approach introduces
a roughly 1 second lag in the audio (also happened
with smpeg).  Is the envar solution free from this
problem?  And is something similar possible with
smpeg as well?
