Try this :

winsound.PlaySound("C:\\path\\whatever.wav",
    winsound.SND_ASYNC | winsound.SND_LOOP)

flags are commonly just bit patterns and you need to use a bitwise or
operation to combine both patterns together.

Also be aware that Win9x ignores any parameters sent to it (I think
that is with the Beep function, but I don't remember exactly).
