mnemosyne responce slows down when cards have audio files

[Bashar]

Binary package hint: mnemosyne

I'm using Mnemosyne on Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS which I downloaded from the Software Center. As indicated on the author's website I divided my flashcards into categories according to subject. All the categories except one are text and they work fine. The last one is a language word pronunciation category where each of the cards has an embedded link to a .wav file which are all gathered under .mnemosyne/sounds, in total 83 files. When this category is being run there is a delay of about 1 or 2 seconds between pressing the grade button and the appearance of the following card. This delay doesn't happen in the other text categories where the transition to the next card is almost simultaneous with the pressing of the grade button for the one before it.
Initially I thought that there's a problem with the .wav format so I converted all the files to .ogg but got the exact same issue.

The audio library Mnemosyne uses (pygame) is not so good, and in 2.0 we switched to Qt4 Phonon. Perhaps the Ubuntu developers can do something be changing the version / configuration of pygame...

@ bashar:

There is an existing bug #295369 for pygame already. You can use the option "I'm affected too" since it's known.

Anyway comment no.23 there is interesting as it refers to possible solution....

Hmmm, I would like to see V2.2.1 in the Precise LTS

This bug could possible get closed as 10.04 Desktop is EOL ?

It's premature to close this since it still affects precise. I'll look into a backport if the newer version.
