Well, there is module in standard lib to read and write wavs, called wave. http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-wave.html To play them, I have used a module called linuxaudiodev. It's bit strange since there is no mention of it in any documentation, but it has been bundled with python for some time now, for what I know. Interface is similar to module sunaudiodev. http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-sunaudiodev.html The linuxaudiodev module seems bit buggy, but is fine for basic operation. > Maybe it's nice to use libsndfile for soundfile stuff.

What's wrong with writing straight to alsa or oss device? janne
