Pygame, sounds don't play

Question

I'm trying to play sound files (.wav) with pygame but when I start it I never hear anything.
This is the code:

import pygame  pygame.init() pygame.mixer.init() sounda= pygame.mixer.Sound("desert_rustle.wav")  sounda.play() 

I also tried using channels but the result is the same

For me (on Windows 7, Python 2.7, PyGame 1.9) I actually have to remove the pygame.init() call to make it work or if the pygame.init() stays to create at least a screen in pygame.

My example:

import time, sys from pygame import mixer  # pygame.init() mixer.init()  sound = mixer.Sound(sys.argv[1]) sound.play()  time.sleep(5)
