I don't know if this is related, but as I just recently posted, I
see a similar behavior when playing sound files using:

s = pygame.mixer.Sound("sound_file.ogg")
s.play()

(jumps ahead / plays too fast).


But if I play some music in the background, it clears up -- even if
I play the music with 0 volume, e.g.:

pygame.mixer.music.load("bkg_sound_file.ogg")
pygame.mixer.music.set_volume(0.0)
pygame.mixer.music.play(loop=-1)
s = pygame.mixer.Sound("sound_file.ogg")
s.play()

(this plays fine).

This is a Debian 3.1 "Sarge" system with:

ii  python2.3      2.3.5-3        An interactive high-level object-oriented la
ii  python2.3-pyga 1.6-2          SDL bindings for games development in Python

(so, same version as you, I see).

I've been wondering why this happens.

Cheers,
Terry
