Real Time Audio Data
 

A few years ago, someone posted about getting audio data in from a microphone. A comment was made that realtime audio collection would be worked on for the next version (that was 2.5).

I haven't seen any further discussion about this in the forums (though I could have failed to search effectively). Is anyone aware if this task is more possible now than it was then?

I'm aware of the vizmic module, but I would really love to record to memory.

What would work well, is if vizmic.startRecording took a file-like object instead of just a filename string. Then you could use a StringIO object and all would be well.

The vizmic module only allows getting the current monitor level of the audio. It does not support recording the raw data to memory. I did a quick search and there seems to be some 3rd party Python libraries that support this, like PyAudio.

Thanks for the reply. The "super duper alpha" comment on the pyaudio sute made me a bit weary of that one. I just wanted to check, since I'd like to minimize third party requirements. But I'll go ahead and use something like pyaudio then.

Thanks again!
