"Bravo!!!"    Lenard!   You guys fixed the crackling/crappy music!   The 
Pygame versions sound just the the C/SDL versions code.

1)  I removed the SDL_AUDIO env var to make sure the older Pygame still made 
the crackle/ (and as Lenard pointed out played the music at half speed, 
general crappy)  -   It did.

2)  I installed your latest build Revision: 1222 Built: 2008-04-23 21:07

3)  Played the Pygame examples from Book Chap 10, and they sound great.

I was also able to finally do this: "pygame.mixer.pre_init(44100, -16, 2, 
4096)"  which resolved the bounce sound delay.

Good Job!!!

Hi,

Everyone who had crackly sound with pygame, please definitely please
try the builds at this link.
http://thorbrian.com/pygame/builds.php

Note that this has been a problem for some 2 years :)  But I think my
change made it worse - or is a separate problem.

Here's a few things we need to do before 1.8.1 is released.  I think
that's it for a 1.8.1 release... which should be mainly a bug fix
release.
