Greeting list readers,
I noticed that the wave read object has an *implementation dependent*
setpos(pos) method. When reading audio files, it is useful to be able
to set the position to a specific sample. While setpos(pos) may do this
on certain implementations (haven't tried it), it would not be a
reliable way to do it in a platform independent manner.
Is anyone familiar with an alternative wave package that would let one
arbitrarily access portions of a wave file? Clearly, one can read in up
to the desired point, but when the file is very large, this becomes an
inappropriate way of doing things.
Thanks,
Marie

How do you know this? I don't know either way, but superficially it
looks like the wave.py author tried to do "the right thing."

Why don't you at least try setpos, and fix it if there's a problem?
Or report on the problem you _actually_ encounter, which could be useful.
That much can't be much harder than looking for an alternative, and may
inspire others to help make/find a workable solution for you.

Hello Python World!
I've been playing with the 'wave' and 'audioop' modules in the library,
and I have a question. When I tried to read a "wav" file with samples
in 32-bit float, I got the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Play.py", line 111, in ?
playWAV(sys.argv)
File "Play.py", line 69, in playWAV

Hi,
I am trying to read wave date (the 16 bits audio words) from a wave file
using c++. I have tried using the mmsystems library. I got to the point
where I read the wave data chunk into a character array using mmioread.
This array does not make much sense to me however, I don't really understand
the format. Anyone has an idea as to how to extract the 16 bit words from
the character array returned by mmioread?
Alos, any other...

I am trying to access the data with in a wav file. I am testing with very
small files in order to keep the code simple to start with.
Basically, im writing the entire wav file to a byte using a fileStream.
The problem is that when reading back the data word by word and printing the
results on a general form, once the data chunk header has been read, i.e,
"data" and "chunk size", all the rest of the bytes in the array have the

PART III: Putting things together
In part I we examined the modem to verify that it supported voice. If so, we took a note about the voice data format that we would use. In the second part, we prepared a wave file and implemented a piece of code in C# to be used by HomeZIX to read the wave file into a buffer. Now, it’s time to put things together to send out that buffer as an audio stream over the phone line to a designated phone number.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
