I recently used pygame version 1.9.6 to play audio files and all worked fine. When upgrading to version 2.0.0.dev8 I always get the error "Unrecognized audio file" upon loading "mp3" files, it works with "ogg" though. It seems to me like pygame introduced new libraries that I need to install, but I simply can't figure out which libraries pygame uses and what changed regarding to mp3 dependencies between versions 1.9.6 and 2.0.0.dev8.
I'm using Python 3.5 on Ubuntu 16.
Can anyone help with experience in pygame or audio libraries on Ubuntu?
PS: I use the following sample code for testing
import pygame
import time
pygame.init()
pygame.mixer.init()
pygame.mixer.music.load("xyz.mp3")
pygame.mixer.music.play()
while pygame.mixer.music.get_busy():
time.sleep(100)
