Re: [pygame] varying sound playback rate

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the quick response.

Heheheh :) The less-than-perfect technique you suggested is what I was 
doing last night when I stopped and thought, hey, maybe I don't have to 
do this after all... maybe someone knows a better way. So, thanks, yes. 
I think I'll probably be doing that if I can't find a simpler way.

Best wishes,

	- Miriam
