pymedia has still not had any new activity better off looking for other media libraries in python

most notably recently is either | http://code.google.com/p/avbin/ | avbin - Google Code

or gstreamer... see notes in gstreamer.txt: | http://localhost:5000/journal/log/media/code/python/gstreamer.txt

pymad instead:

download unpack make sure libmad and libmad-dev are installed

./config_unix.py

sudo python setup.py install

giving this a try since pygame sounded so bad for audio

downloaded source file:

extracted

tried: sudo python setup.py build

Using UNIX configuration...
