Re: [pygame] vista testing...

yeah, I think generally increasing the buffer size helps people.

For rc5 I increased the default buffer size to 1024 * 3... which has
worked in the past to fix things up on most peoples computers.

Unfortunately increasing it over 3*1024 starts to make the sound lag
noticable... at least to me.  So I think it will have to be a per
game, or per user setting until it gets fixed propperly.


If someone could lodge a bug report at:
http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/

That would be greatly appreciated.

I think it's best to fix this properly in SDL_mixer... but for now the
work around is to increase the default buffer size on a per computer
basis.

cheers,
