Python Audioop Introduction
Description :
The audioop module contains some useful operations on sound fragments. It operates on sound fragments consisting of signed integer samples 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits wide, stored in bytes-like objects. All scalar items are integers, unless specified otherwise.
Changed in version 3.4: Support for 24-bit samples was added. All functions now accept any bytes-like object. String input now results in an immediate error.
This module provides support for a-LAW, u-LAW and Intel/DVI ADPCM encodings.
A few of the more complicated operations only take 16-bit samples, otherwise the sample size (in bytes) is always a parameter of the operation.
The module defines the following variables and functions:
Error : exception audioop.error
Description : This exception is raised on all errors, such as unknown number of bytes per sample, etc.
Method Name : audioop.add(fragment1, fragment2, width)
Description : Return a fragment which is the addition of the two samples passed as parameters. width is the sample width in bytes, either 1, 2, 3 or 4. Both fragments should have the same length. Samples are truncated in case of overflow.
Method Name : audioop.adpcm2lin(adpcmfragment, width, state)
Description : Decode an Intel/DVI ADPCM coded fragment to a linear fragment. See the description of lin2adpcm() for details on ADPCM coding. Return a tuple (sample, newstate) where the sample has the width specified in width.
