Decode audio files using whichever backend is available. The library currently supports: - `Gstreamer`_ via `gst-python`_. - `Core Audio`_ on Mac OS X via `ctypes`_. (PyObjC not required.) - `MAD`_ via the `pymad`_ bindings. - `FFmpeg`_ via its command-line interface. - The standard library `wave`_ and `aifc`_ modules (for WAV and AIFF files).
