This issue was created to address an issue with PySDL2 on Linux during my experimentation. The issue occures when a WAV file is trying to load. When pysdl.sdlmixer is loading an audio file without root privileges, it fails to load with a "segmentation fault" error. However, the issue does not occure when run with the propper permissions, E.G. sudo permissions. See /sandbox/SDL_AudioPlay/audio2.py.
I don't yet know if this issue occurs on other operating systems like Windows or Mac. Experimentation with /sandbox/SDL_AudioPlay/audio2.py on those operating systems would be greatly appreciated. I saw a post online that suggests to try installing PySDL2 without the "pip install" utility by putting the PySDL2 binaries in a custom folder (Nordeide, 2014). I may try that suggestion on a blank Raspbian installation in the future.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for a fix?
Thanks!
