it shows in a ports search in a few places. no objection in principle
to removing but we should check over these:

audio/cplay - mixer (master, pcm volume)
games/renpy - mixer (pcm volume)
net/gajim - play sound files, if an external player is not configured
textproc/py-nltk - play sound files, fallback to pygame which uses sdl
x11/kde/utils3 (looks like an example program and probably not used)
x11/kde4/superkaramba  (ditto, related to above)

the module is still present in python 3 but we don't build it.
also the string appears in a few other ports for syntax highlighting
and docs, I didn't include those here.
