Hello all, Is there any way to catch the output of the pygame mixer, say as a buffer/some sort of stream, in order to record it (in addition to/instead of playing it)?
I previously posted this question on the pygame reddit, but the more I delve into it, the harder it seems, so I'll take all the chances i can get. So far I have found or imagined only four possible solutons, all of which seem absurdly involved: - Parroting the mixer by keeping a sndarray that I update permanently with every new sound that is played - This system-specific workaround https://pyweek.org/d/4394/ which requires catching the stream played by PulseAudio. But it is frustrating to have the audio first sent to the OS, then recaptured by my program. - An equivalent, more generic workaround with pyaudio (I would have used pymedia but it is quite dead). - not using pygame at all for the audio; can you recommend some alternative? My goals include: internal audio/video capture (I got the video part already), and an interactive music making program. Thanks for any idea! A.H.
