Sound

[GoogleCodeExporter]

BeforeSummer07 has partially-implemented sound features using tkSnack.  
Complete this, 
although possibly switch to Pyglet (does it do sound?) as described here:

I'm looking into this, and it seems like it'd be a lot of fun to implement it.

I am looking into alternate ways of doing sound with pygame or pyglet. As far 
as I
can tell pyglet has no support for sound manipulation and editing. 

Pygame on the other hand has some really stupid bugs. I think I may know how to 
fix
them, but it's a shame that the distributed source is so unusable.

More later...

I can't believe all the progress I made today. I figure out the bug in pygame,
created our own workaround (that I think is simpler and easier, but whatever), 
and
converted all of sound.py's functionality into pygame (and it all works in 
stereo and
mono).

Pros:

- It's faster
- Sounds cleaner
- It works in Wing!!!!

Cons:

- default values like frequency, encoding, and channels cannot be changed on 
the fly
- The code is a little more cumbersome
- No built in waveform calculator or grapher, will have to do that in-house

I will commit it tomorrow once I've had a bit of time to debug. I think it's 
better
than tkSnack, mainly because we might be able to avoid tk COMPLETELY!
