PsychoPy: pyo instead of pygame audio #3
Description
Upgrade at some point to pyo library for sound rather than the default pygame for better latency performance. During development, the pyo worked some of the time, but then with some settings with some runs had distorted sound and on some runs did not produce sound at all with Ubuntu (Studio) 12.04.
See also PsychoPy/pyo discussions:
Latency of sound file is not consistent across trials
playing sounds using pyo; speech onset RT
Playing mono files from both speakers + option to play & immediately return
Might require better understanding of ALSA and JACK (Audio Connection Kit)
