[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. import pyglet
2. player = pyglet.media.Player()

Paste in the traceback or error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages/pyglet/__init__.py", line 334, in __getattr__
    return getattr(self._module, name)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Player'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Seen on Ubuntu 11.04; Stock Python 3.2; Build Pyglet from git-rev 4ce991e689f8
Ive all the libav*-dev Packages installed, Build the last Pyglet-release with 
python2 - and it works there

Hi, I had a similar error messages with pyglet.resource.media('any.mp3')
Probably this is str/bytes problem on Python3.
Some avbin_functions accept ctypes.c_char_p, which is compatible only with 
bytes object.

Quick and dirty solution is adding following code to pyglet/media/avbin.py, 
between line 188 and 189

 args = (e.encode() if isinstance(e, str) else e for e in args)

This code encodes all str objects passed to avbin_function to utf-8 bytes 
objects.
Works fine even with non-ascii filenames on ArchLinux x86_64; CPython 3.2; 
Pyglet rev 625e1e191389

Sorry for my poor english.
