Thank you for your replies: Dan, Greg, Inigo, and Ian
I changed the sound buffer size and it helped a lot. I verified that there
was no empty space in the loop with Audacity. I changed the program to queue
the next sound on the key press events and play the queued sound when the
previous sound end

Have you tried reducing the size of the sound buffer? It seems
that the pygame mixer can only start a sound on a buffer
boundary, so for accurate sound timing you need quite a small
buffer size.

If possible, make the buffer size even smaller. Also, check the sound file
itself to make sure there isn't any blank space in the beginning.
If I recall I had a lag in a game and solved it by loading the sound when the
game started rather than when the key was pressed.
In my case though, the sound file was small.

Hello, and thanks for looking at this. I hope you have patience for a
pygame newbie..
I'm using Mac OS 10.6, python 2.6.6, and pygame 1.9.1. I got this slightly
modified sample working:
[code]
import sys, pygame
pygame.init()
size = width, height = 320, 240
speed = [4, 4]
black = 0, 0, 0
