Comment(by wadeb):

 Bounce uses pygame.mixer for sound.  Are other PyGame based games getting
 sound?

 There *is* a workaround for sporadic frame rate hitching present in
 Bounce.  The workaround is that Bounce takes over the event loop and
 dispatches events itself, doing its rendering and per-frame processing in
 the event loop.  Without it, the game pauses briefly every 5 seconds or
 so.

 I am currently without a development XO and have been trying to get my
 virtual machine set up the past few days but no luck - I'm getting an
 obscure error when launching an image in VMware 6.5 and I haven't had much
 time to dedicate to it.
