MacOS + URL got "Could not load sound with filename, although URL was good..." #107

I was trying to write a Dropbox music player and hit this error:

Could not load sound with filename, although URL was good... https://....

For an unknown reason, I updated playsound.py and it is now working:

-         nssound = NSSound.alloc().initWithContentsOfURL_byReference_(url, True)
+         nssound = NSSound.alloc().initWithContentsOfURL_byReference_(url, False)

This works for both local files and URLs. I'm not really sure what that byReference actually is.

When YES only the name of the sound is stored with the NSSound instance when archived using encodeWithCoder:; otherwise the audio data is archived along with the instance.
