Version 0.8.6:
- Added four methods to the 'PCM' class to allow users to get detailed information about the device:
# Version 0.9.0:
- Added keyword arguments for channels, format, rate and periodsize
- Deprecated `setchannel`, `setformat`, `setrate` and `setperiodsize`
- 'getformats()' returns a dictionary of name / value pairs, one for each of the card's
supported formats - e.g. '{"U8": 1, "S16_LE": 2}',
- 'getchannels()' returns a list of the supported channel numbers, e.g. '[1, 2]',
- 'getrates()' returns supported sample rates for the device, e.g. '[48000]',
- 'getratebounds()' returns the device's official minimum and maximum supported
sample rates as a tuple, e.g. '(4000, 48000)'.

Version 0.8.4:
# Version 0.8.4:
- Fix Python3 API usage broken in 0.8.3

# Version 0.8.3:
- Add DSD sample formats (contributed by @lintweaker)
- Add Mixer.handleevents() to acknowledge events identified by select.poll (contributed by @PaulSD)
- Add functions for listing cards and their names (contributed by @chrisdiamand)

Version 0.8.2:
# Version 0.8.2:
- fix #3 (we cannot get the revision from git for pip installs)
Version 0.8.1:
# Version 0.8.1:
- document changes (this file)
Version 0.8:
- 'PCM()' has new 'device' and 'cardindex' keyword arguments.
# Version 0.8:
- `PCM()` has new `device` and `cardindex` keyword arguments.
The keyword 'device' allows to select virtual devices, 'cardindex' can be
used to select hardware cards by index (as with 'mixers()' and 'Mixer()').
The keyword `device` allows to select virtual devices, `cardindex` can be

The 'card' keyword argument is still supported, but deprecated.

The reason for this change is that the `card` keyword argument guessed
a device name from the card name, but this only works sometimes, and breaks
opening virtual devices.
- new function 'pcms()' to list available PCM devices.
- new function `pcms()` to list available PCM devices.
- mixers() and Mixer() take an additional 'device' keyword argument.
- `mixers()` and `Mixer()` take an additional `device` keyword argument.
This allows to list or open virtual devices.
- The default behaviour of Mixer() without any arguments has changed.
Now Mixer() will try to open the 'default' Mixer instead of the Mixer
- The default behaviour of `Mixer()` without any arguments has changed.
Now Mixer() will try to open the `default` Mixer instead of the Mixer
that is associated with card 0.
- fix a memory leak under Python 3.x
- some more memory leaks in error conditions fixed.
Version 0.7:
# Version 0.7:
- fixed several memory leaks (patch 3372909), contributed by Erik Kulyk)
Version 0.6:
# Version 0.6:
- mostly reverted patch 2594366: alsapcm_setup did not do complete error
checking for good reasons; some ALSA functions in alsapcm_setup may fail without
rendering the device unusable
Version 0.5:
# Version 0.5:
- applied patch 2777035: Fixed setrec method in alsaaudio.c
This included a mixertest with more features
- fixed/applied patch 2594366: alsapcm_setup does not do any error checking
Version 0.4:
# Version 0.4:
- API changes: mixers() and Mixer() now take a card index instead of a
card name as optional parameter.
- Support for Python 3.0
- Documentation converted to reStructuredText; use Sphinx instead of LaTeX.
- added cards()
- added PCM.close()
- added Mixer.close()
- added mixer.getenum()
- added `cards()`
- added `PCM.close()`
- added `Mixer.close()`
- added `mixer.getenum()`
Version 0.3:
- wrapped blocking calls with Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS/Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS
# Version 0.3:
- wrapped blocking calls with `Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS`/`Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS`
- added pause
Version 0.2:
# Version 0.2:
- Many bugfixes related to playback in particular
- Module documentation in the doc subdirectory
