Fix typo in mixer docs

[Starbuck5]

Makes no sense before.

Closes #3180

If you're curious, I actually did verify this is true with stop() and set_volume(), btw.

import pygame

pygame.init()

s = pygame.mixer.Sound("xm_test/surfonasinewave.xm")

print("start 1")
s.play()

pygame.time.wait(1500)

print("start 2")
s.play()

pygame.time.wait(7000)

#print("STOP")
#s.stop()

print("QUIET")
s.set_volume(0.3)

while True:
    pygame.time.wait(1)

✅ Passed checks (4 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title Check	✅ Passed	The pull request title "Fix typo in mixer docs" is concise, clear, and directly describes the main change in the changeset. The raw summary confirms that the change is a single textual correction in the Sound class documentation, where "will the all instances" is corrected to "will impact all instances." The title accurately reflects this primary objective without unnecessary noise or vague terminology.
Linked Issues Check	✅ Passed	The linked issue #3180 requests fixing a typo in the mixer.Sound documentation where the problematic phrase "will the all instances" needs correction. The raw summary confirms that the PR corrects this exact phrase to "will impact all instances," directly addressing the primary objective of the linked issue. The change meets the coding requirement to fix the documented typo and improve documentation clarity around Sound state behavior.
Out of Scope Changes Check	✅ Passed	The pull request contains only a single documentation file change (docs/reST/ref/mixer.rst) consisting of a targeted typo correction. This change is directly aligned with the scope of linked issue #3180, which specifically requests fixing the "will the all" typo in the mixer.Sound documentation. There are no unrelated modifications, no behavioral code changes, and no additional files modified beyond what is necessary to address the issue.
Description Check	✅ Passed	The pull request description is related to the changeset and provides relevant context. It notes that the original wording "makes no sense" and references the closing of issue #3180, which corresponds to the typo being fixed. The included code example demonstrates the actual behavior of Sound methods (multiple playbacks and state changes), which provides verification that the documentation correction is accurate and necessary.

Learning: For the pygame-community/pygame-ce repository, batch similar documentation or terminology improvements together in a single comment rather than pointing them out individually. This helps avoid unnecessary commit spam.

Timestamp: 2025-08-17T17:23:06.787Z
Learning: In pygame-ce's mixer.c, when fixing reference leaks in mixer_quit, the cleanest approach is to first call Mix_ChannelFinished(NULL) to disable the callback and prevent race conditions, then manually handle Py_XDECREF calls for channeldata[i].sound and channeldata[i].queue after the Mix_HaltGroup calls.

356-358: Documentation typo fix is accurate and improves clarity.

The correction from "will the all instances" to "will impact all instances" fixes an obvious grammatical error and makes the sentence semantically clear. The revised text properly conveys that state-changing methods on a Sound object affect all active playback instances of that Sound.
