[C] SDL_Mixer music delay at startup

SDL Development

Hi, what I want to do is load in an .ogg file at startup and play it right away, but it doesn’t begin playing the audio at exactly the beginning, more like 1 or 2 seconds in. It’s almost as if either Mix_OpenAudio or Mix_LoadMUS takes 1 or 2 seconds to finish its job but meanwhile the Mix_PlayMusic started before and when it can actually play the audio it thinks it’s 1 or 2 seconds into the song, but that’s just my guess. Here’s my source:

Code:
int main(int argc, char* args[])
{
int state = 1;
SDL_Surface* screen = NULL;
Mix_Music *bgm = NULL;

SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING);

Mix_OpenAudio(44100, MIX_DEFAULT_FORMAT, 2, 1024);

bgm = Mix_LoadMUS("bgm.ogg");

screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 24, SDL_SWSURFACE);

//SDL_Delay(1000);

Mix_PlayMusic(bgm, 0);

while(state && SDL_WaitEvent(&event))
{
    switch(event.type)
    {
        case SDL_QUIT:
            state = 0;
            Mix_HaltMusic();
            Mix_FreeMusic(bgm);
            Mix_CloseAudio();

            SDL_Quit();
        break;

        default:
        break;
    }
}

return 0;

}

If the SDL_Delay(1000); is uncommented above, the music will play exactly at the start, but I don’t want it to delay. I have tried loading .mp3 and .wav files to no avail. So my question is, is there any way I can get it to play correctly as soon as possible without calling SDL_Delay()?
