Dungeon should continuously play the mp3 ambience. It could do so automatically after starting up or it could be enabled/disabled from the Master Screen.

Ideally, we could start, stop and restart the playback at any time in the Master Screen by using a slider like the one for the auto_mode.

Alternative solution would be a button to start it and a button to stop it. We need to define two scary actions for dungeon: One to start a looped playback of the mp3 (mpg321 --loop 0 ambience.mp3 &) and one to kill the playback using an appropriate os-command. That should be easier to do an would be nice, even though there are two buttons and not a slider.

Additional scary actions playing more sounds and generating fog can be played while the ambience mp3 is playing in the background without a problem.

@mishi - Please make sure you run sudo apt-get install python3-psutil first.

Right now I'm not using threads but shell subprocesses. Stopping the process is done via kill() so I don't know what happens if there is another sound playing back at the same time...

Just tested it :)
If two sounds are playing back at the same time and ambience sound is toggled off, then all sounds are stopped/killed.
But multiple sound playback is possible.
