Re: [pygame] CD Audio
You might look into gstreamer python bindings if they exist. That's the first place I'd look, although I don't know if that would be portable to windows. --Mike Josh Smith wrote: Does anyone know of a workaround for piping the sound to the sound card? On Windows and even Linux with VLC/Totem the music works fine, but not if I'm trying to play CD audio through Pygame. I could probably fix it out on the hardware level as suggested, but I can't really expect my users to play around with the internals just to get their program working. As a last resort I could just default to only reading mp3's/oggs/etc and just include a ripping utility with the program but I'd prefer them to just be able to pop in a CD and play.

Re: [pygame] CD Audio
Some don't ship with that anymore. I know it took me a while to figure that out when we installed linux on my sister's new computer. windows media players seem to read the audio and pipe it to the sound card, probably so they can do visualizations and stuff, whereas by default the players we were using on linux still just played the CD. --Mike Bo Jangeborg wrote: Doesn't the CD-Audio usually have its own direct connection to the sound card.
