[pygame] Mixer channel limit

["Anton Shafarenko" <tau@annihilated.net>]

Hello

My application seems to have run up against the bounds of the mixer's 8
channel limit. Attempting to increase the number of channels beyond eight
results in a segmentation fault. e.g.

Python 2.3.3 (#1, Feb 19 2004, 12:34:57)
[GCC 3.3.2 20031218 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r5, propolice-3.3-7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from pygame import *
>>> init()
(6, 0)
>>> mixer.set_num_channels(16)
Pygame Parachute Traceback:
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
Aborted

Is there any way of extending this limit, or is this an inherent
restriction in the design of pygame?

Cheers
