Hi Douglas
Just to let you know, my sound will load and play with pygame without the
string compression. It's a mere 0.18 seconds long. I tried some other sounds
that were short and I got ~around~ the same results.
After editing sound2.py,
"RIFF\x16\xe9\x00\x00WAVEfmt
\x10\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x01\x00D\xac\x00\x00\x88X\x01\x00\x02\x00\x10\x00data\xf2\xe8\x00\x00\xd2$\xcf(U\xf0r+\xc3\x16\x0c\xf6\xa7\xdc2\x0bH\xf8\x95\xdcy\xd6\x06!\xbc\x05\x17\xe5\xbf\xe4\xd5\xfa\n\xea'\xedN\xfb\xec!\x055\x88\xecy\xcb\xdf\xc8#\xd2x\x16\xf1\xd0|\xf9\x1f\x02\x86\xe2\x04\xf3\xa4'G\x1c\xfd\xfb7B\x86"
import binascii
from cStringIO import StringIO
from pygame import mixer
snd = binascii.a2b_base64(__doc__)
f = StringIO(snd)
mixer.init()
sound = mixer.Sound(f)
sound.play()
I get this traceback:
>>>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Documents and Settings\Michael\Desktop\sound2.py", line 8, in
<module>
snd = binascii.a2b_base64(__doc__)
Error: Incorrect padding
>>>
Then I switched a2b_base64 to b2a_base64 and got this traceback:
>>>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Documents and Settings\Michael\Desktop\sound2.py", line 12, in
<module>
sound = mixer.Sound(f)
error: Unrecognized sound file type
>>>
I'm going to try a few other sound files real quick.
