Re: [pygame] starting sound playback at offset

["Brian Fisher" <brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't mean copying the sound - I meant with SDL could you make a mixer chunk that pointed to a portion of some other chunk.

or are you saying it's easy in pygame to make a sound that points to a subset of the content of another sound? (like a subsurface...) If so, how would you do that?

yeah, pretty much.

Doing that from python is just as easy though.
