 I doesn't.  I doesn't in principle (cat foo.wav > /dev/dsp doesn't work
 for me) and the code is wrong in at least one spot:

...
>         sdata = f.read(1024)
>         while sdata:
>             d.write(sdata)
... 

 that would only copy 1K of data

 I was stumped for a little while last night as well.  Unfortunately
 I don't have a simple working example, yet; but it looks like
 pysolsoundserver.so and the PySol (Python Solitaire) sources might 
 be a good start.  Apparently PyGame also has some sophisticated 
 sound handling.  There doesn't seem to be a way to do it (easily)
 with the standard libraries, though.
