This suggest using the pygame provided libraries is ok. Your last experiment with test_audio_sdl_effect.py suggest that it found the libraries somewhere in the system. Maybe the ones coming from pygame ? About which backend: pure pygame sound | cocos\audio, which is pyglet-ctypes widely used | little test field maintained | unmaintained works in Macs | works in Macs ? The only thing that precludes me to chose pure pygame is that, at the times of pygame 1.7, some modules would not work without instantiating a pygame window. But I don't remember which modules, and don't know potential changes to the current pygame version. Your try with test_accelerate_speed_plus_pygame_audio.py (which uses pure pygame) is encouraging, but they can be surprises. I mailed Daniel about these issues, will report later . If you do further experiments, I'm all ears to hear about them. cheers ! -- claudio -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cocos2d discuss" group.
