Could you elaborate please?

Do you mean if surface get_bitsize() returns 8, it is still 24 bit per pixel in reality?

But how would one guess it from documentation? And why then surface.get_buffer() works correctly with 8 bit aray? It copies the raw data I suppose?
Same as array_to_surface should probably do. I am not implying anything, but there is nothing explained in the documentation, so I just try by rule of thumb till it works.
