Well, I am not about to piss off the release manager. =) audioop in particular- I make heavy use of it in a number of
projects (both opensource and non). The sunau format is still used in quite a number of places - for instance, it's the default format for cisco access gateways, as well as a bunch of other hardware.
I just removed that whole section in Open Issues so audioop, sunau, and chunk are not even being considered for removal. I could see the justification for moving all of the audio-specific
modules (these ones, aifc, wave, sndhdr) into a new toplevel 'audio' package. Although 'chunk' is also used for some forms of image file, IIRC.
Anyone know if this is true? I just want to be sure since I will be proposing new packages soon. -Brett
