The 1.7 and 1.8 dependencies are linked to a different C library,
msvcrt.dll and msvcr71.dll respectively. It is quite likely they will
not work together.

opening things from file-like objects, so as long as you don't do
that, the sdl version should be interoperable
Here are builds of the same versions of sdl that
Hi Lenard
your not going to believe this after extensive testing, what was needed
was the import os.path for that file and only that file would not play
without the path.
I am not joking about this, for I tested all the files inside the data

Bruce,
It looks like you are mixing Windows paths (backslash) with Python
strings. \awe means something different from \\awe. Python strings
are pretty smart in figuring out what you mean, but can't do it in all
cases. \a means, I think, ring the bell; \n is newline, etc.
I think if you use
Hi Doug,
Of course, I forgot! How stupid, just one of those UNIX things that when
never using that stuff any more, you forget. I should have known, but when
half asleep when writing it and testing it, it is easy to forget. It had
been months since I had an issue of using control chars and
Hi Bo,
SDL 1.2 uses DirectX 5. This may not be properly supported on Vista. I
am surprised SDL audio defaults to it rather than waveout. Anyway, to
check if it is a Pygame problem it would be useful if you could test SDL
directly. I understand you have downloaded the prebuilts from

Cool! Does this work for self-shadowing?
Hello,
Yeah, it would be very useful if you could try the playmus program to
try and reproduce your problem. This will help with a bug report to
SDL.
It would also help if we could summarise all your testing to make a
better SDL bug report. eg.

Does it default to dsound ? I tried to set the computer enviroment variable
to SDL_AUDIODRIVER dsound. Is there another place were I should set it ?

Audio defaults to dsound (DirectX). The other available Windows setting
for SDL_AUDIODRIVER is waveout *. What playmus tells us is streaming

playwave, that tests channels (pygame.mixer). I have uploaded it to my

Two things I noted with playmus. First it initializes SDL with
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO). Second it starts playback with
Mix_FadeInMusic(music,looping,2000). It lacks a feature to start
playback in the middle of a song unfortunately.

the fact that playmus SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO) is interesting - I
wonder if having a window or not affects whether playmus can use the
dsound backend? How would one figure out what audio backend SDL chose?

Cool. Seems like we're getting closer to figuring this thing out...
Two more tests to try:
1. Try with the dummy video driver to see if there are still scratchy noises.
import os
os.environ['SDL_VIDEODRIVER'] = 'dummy'
This will tell us if a video driver is having an effect.
2. try pygame
To answer Brian, the default audio driver is dsound. SDL exports
function SDL_AudioDriverName. Maybe Pygame should wrap it. I found and
compiled a C space aliens game* that uses SDL, SDL_image and SDL_mixer.
I altered it to use frequency 44100, format AUDIO_S16, channels 2, chunk
