2 ALSA and Python</A>

</H1>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
The older Linux sound API (OSS) which is now deprecated is well supported
|
|
from the standard Python library, through the ossaudiodev module. No native
|
|
ALSA support exists in the standard library (yet).
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
There are a few other ``ALSA for Python'' projects available, including at
|
|
least two different projects called pyAlsa. Neither of these seem to be under
|
|
active development at the time - and neither are very feature complete.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
I wrote PyAlsaAudio to fill this gap. My long term goal is to have the module
|
|
included in the standard Python library, but that is probably a while of yet.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
PyAlsaAudio hass full support for sound capture, playback of sound, as well as
|
|
the ALSA Mixer API.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
MIDI support is not available, and since I don't own any MIDI hardware, it's
|
|
difficult for me to implement it. Volunteers to work on this would be greatly
|
|
appreciated
