I’d like to do this:

playsound("/dev/shm/tts-speech.mp3")

I used to use playsound in Ubuntu 20.04. It doesn’t work in Ubuntu 22.04, so I used playsound from preferredsoundplayer. That works fine on my pc, but doesn’t on my rpi4.

I get strange output, and no sound:

>>> import preferredsoundplayer as ps
>>> ps.playsound("/dev/shm/tts-speech.mp3")
('n', '')

What is the simplest way to play sound files on rpi4 from python (or fix preferredsoundplayer)?
