UPDATE: June 11, 2012. This script was written way back when for an older version of SDL. SDL has been improved and rewritten since 2004, so see the reply node below Re: Tk Game Sound demo-with SDL for a more recent version using SDL-2.541

In SDL sound sampler-mixer I showed a snippet for a sound mixer in SDL. Well, since Tk is more widely used, and has an easier widget set to deal with, here is a Tk version. The script and/or sample sounds can be downloaded at ztk-sound-demo.

This script has volume control for each sound.

P.S. I have no error checkig in there for SDL, so if you don't have the proper sound files in the same directory, it will harmlessly segfault. Get the sample sounds from the tgz package, or insert your own.
