Re: [pygame] pygame music

[Mark Reed <markreed99@xxxxxxxxx>]

I dropped it into my app and it works perfectly with Ubuntu except a
bit of a performance problem with the way SDL handles mp3 files as
music.rewind() has to be called first before set_pos or
play(start=60).. play(start=60) actually skips ahead 60 seconds if the
music is already playing instead of resetting the start point to 60
seconds.

If the windows build isn't too hairy I'll test it there sometime soon.

Thanks,

Mark
