On windows systems you can use the win32com module and use OLE/COM
control mechanism. I tried to use MediaPlayer, but had problems.
If you use windows and COM control, please answer in case of success.

# Test dynamic policy

import win32com
import pythoncom
import win32com.client

w=win32com.client.Dispatch("MediaPlayer.MediaPlayer.1")


w.AutoStart=1
w.FileName="c:\Programme\Python\ex1.wav"

w.Play()
