Re: [pygame] No pygame.mixer.Sound.get_current()?

["René Dudfield" <renesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

It's impossible to get this information accurately in a portable way.
Because of various buffers, you can't actually be sure how much sound
has come out of the speakers.  You can sometimes figure this out on
specific machines though.

However you can guess by how long your sound has been playing.  You'll
need to store the time yourself when you tell it to play, then compare
it to the current time.

cu,
