convert winsound to a linux platform?

On a chat script I was working on a while back, I used the winsound python library to play a 'ding' sound (ding.wav) when a new message was received. Now I am wondering how I can make this work for linux, only with a .ogg audio file. The code is below: ``` import sys import util import thread import socket import winsound class ClientSocket(): rbufsize = -1 wbufsize = 0 def __init__(self, address, nickname=''): if type(address) == type(()) and type(address[0]) == type('') and type(address[1]) == type(1): pass else: print ('Address is of incorrect type. \n' + 'Must be (serverHost (str), serverPort (int)).') sys.exit(1) if nickname: self.changeNick(nickname) else: self.changeNick(raw_input('Nickname: ')) self.prompt_on = False self.address = address def connect(self): self.connection=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) self.connection.connect(self.address) self.rfile = self.connection.makefile('rb', self.rbufsize) self.wfile = self.connection.makefile('wb', self.wbufsize) self.wfile.write('/nick ' + self.nickname + '\n') def serve_forever(self): self.connect() thread.start_new_thread(self.acceptinput,()) line = "" while line not in ('/exit','/quit', '/q'): self.prompt_on = True line = raw_input(self.prompt) self.prompt_on = False if line[:2] == '/n' or line[:5] == '/nick': self.changeNick(line.split(' ', 1)[1].strip()) self.wfile.write(line + '\n') self.close() self.connection.shutdown(socket.SHUT_RDWR) self.connection.close() def changeNick(self, newNick): self.nickname = newNick self.prompt = self.nickname+': ' self.backspace = '\b' * len(self.prompt) def acceptinput(self): while 1: data = self.rfile.readline().strip() if data: self.writedata(data) if 'Nickname successfully changed to' in data: self.changeNick(data.split('"')[1]) def writedata(self, data): if self.prompt_on: output = data if len(data) >= len(self.prompt) else data + ' ' * (len(self.prompt) - len(data)) winsound.PlaySound("ding.wav", winsound.SND_FILENAME) sys.stdout.write(self.backspace + output + '\n' + self.prompt) sys.stdout.flush() else: print data def close(self): if not self.wfile.closed: self.wfile.flush() self.wfile.close() self.rfile.close() def main(): serverHost = raw_input('Server IP/Hostname: ') if not serverHost: serverHost = util.getIP() else: serverHost = socket.gethostbyname(serverHost) serverPort = input('Server Port: ') address = (serverHost, serverPort) client = ClientSocket(address) print 'Connecting to server on %s:%s' % (serverHost, serverPort) client.serve_forever() if __name__ == '__main__': main() ``` If someone could help me convert this to play a .ogg file instead, it would be awesome:) Thanks, Sean.
