Fixed bug #292 I might be on crack here. It looks like SDL_ConvertMono() in src/audio/SDL_audiocvt.c adds the left and right channels of a stereo stream together, and clamps the new mono channel if it would overflow. Shouldn't it be dividing by 2 to average the two sample points instead of clamping? Otherwise the mono sample point's volume doubles in the conversion. This would also make the conversion faster, as it replaces two branches per sample frame with a bitwise shift. --ryan.

><P
>This function takes a surface and copies it to a new surface of the
pixel format and colors of the video framebuffer plus an alpha channel,
suitable for fast blitting onto the display surface.  It calls
<A

>SDL_ConvertSurface</A
></P
><P
>If you want to take advantage of hardware colorkey or alpha blit
acceleration, you should set the colorkey and alpha value before
calling this function.</P
><P
>This function can be used to convert a colourkey to an alpha channel,
if the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_SRCCOLORKEY</TT
> flag is set on the surface.
The generated surface will then be transparent (alpha=0) where the
pixels match the colourkey, and opaque (alpha=255) elsewhere.</P
