Re: [pygame] Mixer latency

[Wyatt Olson <wyatt.olson@xxxxxxxxx>]

It is a laptop, but I don't see this problem on any other applications.  
Being a Mac, there are lots of audio / video applications, and all work 
in real time without problem.  It seems to be specific to Python.

Anyways, thanks for your help - I will look around to see if I can find 
any settings which affect the output; if I do, I will post them here.

Cheers
