Hi,
The scenario is an fully updated FC6, with the SDL.mixer recompiled
to enable mp3 support like this:
1) download SDL_mixer-1.2.7-2.fc6.src.rpm from source rpm repository.
2) rpm -i SDL_mixer-1.2.7-2.fc6.src.rpm 3) cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS 4)
edit SDL_mixer.spec, and change line 48 from: %configure
--disable-dependency-tracking --disable-static to %configure
--disable-dependency-tracking --disable-static --enable-music-mp3 5)
build the rpms: rpmbuild -bb SDL_mixer.spec 6) install: cd
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386; rpm -i SDL_mixer-1.2.7-2.i386.rpm; rpm -i
SDL_mixer-devel-1.2.7-2.i386.rpm 7) yum install pygame pygame-devel
The code is:
import pygame
pygame.init()
pygame.mixer.init()
pygame.mixer.music.load('s.mp3')
pygame.mixer.music.play()
while 1:
pass
The s.mp3 is an valid MP3 that mplayer plays without problems, but
the above code plays the mp3 with an annoying background noise (it
looks like an very old vinyl LP disc). Is this an pygame problem or an
SDL problem? Did anyone had the same problem (i tryed on 2 different
systems with the same effect (FC6 and CentOS5).
Thanks,

Lots of other people had this problem when Feisty Fawn came out. Look
in the archives and see if any of those fixes work for you.

You might try replacing it with: while 1: time.sleep(1) or a call to pygame.event.wait() or something else that does not busy- wait. -Casey

Welcome. Another place to find us is in the channel #pygame on irc.freenode.net turnaround is somewhat faster. Laura
