decoding wave file with python

We will need to convert raw PCM or PCM recorded by microphones

Convert PCM Files and Make them Compatible with Windows Media Player, iTunes, MP3 Player, iPhone, iPod, Android Phones, Samsung, Blackberry, etc.


So, we are now at London, next to a MI6 laptop with the elliptic curve firewall...and starting today

Basic Virtual PCM Devices for Playback/Capture, ALSA


ALSA arranges sound cards and their components into a heirarchy of cards, devices and subdevices. It reflects the structure and capabilities of the hardware as seen by ALSA. A card can be denoted by a stringID or a zero-based index. Devices of each card are also enumerated from 0. Different devices can be opened and used independently of each other. Typically, specifying a card and device will suffice for handling audio streams. Finally, some devices may have a separate subdevice for each channel. Like devices, subdevices are identified by a zero-based index.

this is a suprise for the israelis!!!!

Although abbreviation PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation, we are understanding it as general digital audio processing with volume samples generated in continuous time periods.
The analog signal is recorded via analog to digital converters (ADC). The digital value (de-facto a volume at a specific time) obtained from ADC can be further processed. The following picture shows a perfect sinus waveform:

Next image shows digitized representation:

As you may see, the quality of digital audio signal depends on the time (recording rate) and voltage resolution (usually in an linear integer representation with basic unit one bit).
The stored digital signal can be converted back to voltage (analog) representation via digital to analog converters (DAC).

Description

SysExporter utility allows you to grab the data stored in standard list-views, tree-views, list boxes, combo boxes, text-boxes, and WebBrowser/HTML controls from almost any application running on your system, and export it to text, HTML or XML file. 
Here's some examples for data that you can export with SysExporter:

  • The files list inside archive file (.zip, .rar, and so on) as displayed by WinZip or 7-Zip File Manager.
  • The files list inside a folder.
  • The event log of Windows.
  • The list of emails and contacts in Outlook Express.
  • The Registry values displayed in the right pane of the Registry Editor.
  • The data displayed by SysInternals utilities (Registry Monitor, File Monitor, Process Explorer, and others.)
  • The text inside a standard message-box of Windows.
  • The HTML inside any instance of Internet Explorer.
