Thanks. I tried the jukebox.py example. It sounded awful (getout.ogg). Python 2.5 Pygame 1.8.1pre XP Professional (51., Build 2600) Dell DM051 Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 A05 Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz (2 CPUs) 1014MB RAM DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) Intel 82945G Express Chipset Family video (Internal) 224.0 MB SigmaTel Audio
It crackled and played at half-speed. Changing the audio driver to waveout "set SDL_AUDIODRIVER=waveout" cleared everything up. Could it be a DirectX 9 problem (not properly DirectX 5 compatible). I will try this on my Windows 98 Dell with DirectX 8 for comparison. One thing I noted, Pygame initializes the video and audio separately while all the C/C++ programs I have seen so far do everthing in the call to SDL_Init. I will try instializing SDL subsystems instead to see what happens.
