Will have a look at it as well, but, also already tested generating a
console/command line app using the pygame code to play an .ogg file, panning
it left and right, and the compilation worked alright, and am now still busy
reloading primary machine, so haven't taken it too much further, but let's
see...
Am not sure of redistribution licence either, and will need/want to test it
on a couple of other types of machines.
Stay well

Would prefer to use something free, that could work somewhat
cross-platform, but, my primary target is for windows OS, and would
primarily just want to be able to easily trigger playback of either
.wav or .mp3 background sound effects, but, yes, would also be nice to
be able to control them a little bit in terms of volume, possibly
stereo panning as well as playback rate/frequency/pitch?
I have used something called sound_lib, as well as another one
relating to a sort of windows directSound effect, but, both of them
had issues when working with either py2exe or cx_freeze when it came
to compiling into executable, and main thing is would like to keep it
simple...<smile>
Suggestions?
You could try GStreamer: it is free, cross-platform, it allows you to
play media files in the background, to control volume, stereo panning
(e.g., GstAudioPanorama), to change the playback rate while preserving
pitch, it can use DirectShow on Windows, etc -- see
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/features/
The downside is that it may be complex to install and use e.g., it
probably works with py2exe but it won't be simple to configure.
If you know other library that provides similar feature list while being
less complex; do tell.
