You don't need StringIO there. It is just converting a string into a
file object. urllib2.urlopen() returns a file object.
So this will work also:
#! /usr/bin/env python
import urllib2, time
from pygame import mixer
from cStringIO import StringIO
#Read the sound from the url
snd = urllib2.urlopen("http://pymike93.googlepages.com/shoot.wav";)
#Convert to a sound!
mixer.init()
sound = mixer.Sound(snd)
sound.play()
#Pause while you listen to a sound loaded from an online database!
time.sleep(1)

Hey guys! I figured out how to open sounds from urls! Enjoy!
#! /usr/bin/env python
import urllib2, time
from pygame import mixer
from cStringIO import StringIO
#Read the sound from the url
f = urllib2.urlopen("http://pymike93.googlepages.com/shoot.wav";).read()
#Convert to a file
snd = StringIO(f)
#Convert to a sound!
mixer.init()
sound = mixer.Sound(snd)
sound.play()
#Pause while you listen to a sound loaded from an online database!
time.sleep(1)
