Re: [pygame] vista testing...

The change with sample rate makes me think it may actually have to do
with the particular sound samples as well? I understand that SDL is
somewhat limited on the sample rate conversions it supports - got
particular sounds files that sound scratchy you can send to test with?

also, when you say you get scratches after starting some way into the
music - do you mean you get like a pop when first playing the music,
or do you mean that you get scratches throughout the music after you
start it playing at a point in the sound?
