hi,

check out this thread:

From this thread and notes on the SDL mailing list, it appears pulse audio is emulating alsa, and causing the delays. Are you sure you don't have pulse audio installed?

Apparently removing pulse audio fixes the problem... hopefully the ubuntu/pulse audio people will fix it though. Better would be if ubuntu tested their OS with realtime/multimedia apps... and consider problems like non-working sound, and poor latency serious issues.

People on that thread, and on the SDL mailing list have fixed their sound issues by following the instructions in that thread. The issue is with pulse audio, SDL, and pygame.

cheers,
