## This is an example of a simple sound capture script.
##
## The script opens an ALSA pcm forsound capture. Set
## various attributes of the capture, and reads in a loop,
## writing the data to standard out.
##
## To test it out do the following:
## python recordtest.py out.raw # talk to the microphone
## aplay -r 8000 -f S16_LE -c 1 out.raw
# Footnote: I'd normally use print instead of sys.std(out|err).write,
# but we're in the middle of the conversion between python 2 and 3
# and this code runs on both versions without conversion
