Very strange.  When [SDL] forwarded my own message back to me, it didn't look like that.  Anyone else get it all munged like that?

Lo siento, señor.  No hablo C muy bien. :P  (I'm a Delphi programmer who's incredibly grateful to the SDL and JEDI-SDL people for doing what I couldn't have done.)

Perhaps.  But I'm writing my program to be compatible with another program of a similar nature, and *it* has games written with it that use the timing issue as it is, in scenes where events are synchronized with the music.  Maintaining compatibility is a higher priority than dealing with issues that may or may not technically be bugs.  (Besides, lead-in silence makes looping music rather awkward.)  I'd rather see an option to skip it.

Thanks for your help!
