I think you can't really do that, not just because of Python but also as a result of using a multitasking OS that's not especially designed for real time. You have to rely on some buffering in the audio hardware, so you don't have to be sample-accurate with the timings. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
