Use pygame to set the volume

Turns out pygame has this functionality built right into its library code via the
set_volume() method.
Take a look at this small example program:

import pygame.mixer
from time import sleep

mixer = pygame.mixer
mixer.init()

track = mixer.Sound("50459_M_RED_Nephlimizer.wav")
print("Play it LOUD, man!")
track.play(loops = -1)
Set the volume to a LOUD
track.set_volume(0.9) setting.
sleep(2)
print("Softly does it ... ")
Set the volume to
track.set_volume(0.1)
sleep(2) a very low setting.
track.stop()

Turn that racket down!

Louder, dude, louder!

When you set the track’s volume to a high value using set_volume(), it’s
the equivalent of cranking up the volume by moving the slider to the right. When
you set it to a low value, that’s like moving the slider to the left.
