you can force SDL to use ALSA or OSS by setting an environment variable, see this page: http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDL_5fenvvars You could try using the OSS emulation provided by ALSA: $ export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=dsp or: $ export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=dma then: $ python program-name.py or forcing ALSA: $ export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa In my travels I've encountered stories of the ALSA OSS emulation working "better" than the native ALSA drivers, I can't verify that though, cheers, John.
