If you want to play sounds then you should check out pygame.
www.pygame.org

Make sure you get the examples, there is one called sound.py that is
pretty simple.

#load the sound    
file = os.path.join('data', 'secosmic_lo.wav')
sound = mixer.Sound(file)


#start playing
print 'Playing Sound...'
channel = sound.play()


#poll until finished
while channel.get_busy(): #still playing
    print '  ...still going...'
    time.wait(1000)
print '...Finished'
