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 off 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
