Re: [pygame] sound crackling and fmod

He's right - pygame.mixer.pre_init and all that doesn't appear to help, 
at least on my Windows 2000 machine. I left it in just in case it helps 
on some platforms tho.

I found what DID help, was setting the channel volume down to .5. One 
song I have perfectly illustrated the problem, when I played it on both 
pygame and windows media player. In Pygame, it sounded like it was 
overdriving the computer speakers, but when I played it in Windows Media 
Player, it was perfect, but quieter. I put 2 and 2 together, and reduced 
the volume, and got much better results.

The final result is a little worse than Windows Media Player, but at 
least it's not grating to the ears any more.
