Ok, one more silly question - how do I link either the FileStream, or the channel to a specific file, etc.? If I try initialising the FileStream object with what I think is sort of a call to it's __init__ method, it seems to mention the following parameters, and really not too sure what all of them should/would be - that's assuming need to provide some of them since think this is an underlying part of the process being mentioned in the trace back, or something: bass_call(BASS_StreamCreateFile, mem, file, offset, length, flags) As in, I would have assumed something like: fs = sound_lib.stream.FileStream("file.mp3") would have done it, but now not sure as such.
