The author of Natto-Cat (which is a cool game by the way) recently said that sometimes it's necessary to increase the buffer size of pygame.mixer to avoid pops and scratches in sound. However, a side-effect of this is that it takes longer for sounds to fill the buffer, and therefore, longer to start playing. After a certain point, the delay in filling the buffer becomes noticeable. Perhaps the author of whichever game you're playing needed to increase the buffer size to get sound playback to work correctly? I'm sure Aaron Maupin (the Natto-Cat guy) will be interested to talk to you about this. good luck. -Luke
Hi,
I've just installed the latest PyGame release from subversion on Ubuntu 6.06.
I've tried to run a small game and it works fine except for a short delay every time a sound effect is played.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Best Regards
