There are currently only two samples that use sounds: =
sampleShipEffects.py
uses the d3d.Sound (with 3D effect in newer versions) and samplewx.py =
uses
the d3d.Media. The objects are pretty simple to use, so there really is =
not
that much to show.=20

The Media-object (uses DirectShow) can play pretty much anything if =
corrent
codecs (or filters) are registered. Sound (uses DirectSound) can only =
play
.wav files. Googling for "directshow filter/codec <wanted format>" will
probably find quite a few of them. The codecs are usually .exe-files =
that
will register themself when installed. After this the Media should be =
able
to play the formats that the codec supports.

There are some bad codecs out there, so if possible try to get some
information about them. Also note that .mp3 (and some other formats too) =
is
supported directly by the DirectShow so there is usually no need to =
install
any codecs in order to play them.=20
