""" I just used the following Google search to look for some random .aiff files which I could use to test the code I once found for the audiodev module. Unfortunately, the writeframes() call gives me the traceback below. Does anyone know what the problem is? (I would, quite frankly rather know how to play mp3 or ogg files, but I was wondering whether there's a problem here that needs to be fixed.)
