# Stuff to parse AIFF-C and AIFF files.
#
# Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the description below is true
# both for AIFF-C files and AIFF files.
#
# An AIFF-C file has the following structure.
#
#	+-----------------+
#	| FORM            |
#	+-----------------+
#	| <size>          |
#	+----+------------+
#	|    | AIFC       |
#	|    +------------+
#	|    | <chunks>   |
#	|    |    .       |
#	|    |    .       |
#	|    |    .       |
#	+----+------------+
#
# An AIFF file has the string "AIFF" instead of "AIFC".
#
# A chunk consists of an identifier (4 bytes) followed by a size (4 bytes,
# big endian order), followed by the data.  The size field does not include
# the size of the 8 byte header.
#
# The following chunk types are recognized.
#
#	FVER
#		<version number of AIFF-C defining document> (AIFF-C only).
#	MARK
#		<# of markers> (2 bytes)
#		list of markers:
#			<marker ID> (2 bytes, must be > 0)
#			<position> (4 bytes)
#			<marker name> ("pstring")
#	COMM
#		<# of channels> (2 bytes)
#		<# of sound frames> (4 bytes)
#		<size of the samples> (2 bytes)
#		<sampling frequency> (10 bytes, IEEE 80-bit extended
#			floating point)
#		if AIFF-C files only:
#		<compression type> (4 bytes)
#		<human-readable version of compression type> ("pstring")
#	SSND
#		<offset> (4 bytes, not used by this program)
#		<blocksize> (4 bytes, not used by this program)
#		<sound data>
#
# A pstring consists of 1 byte length, a string of characters, and 0 or 1
# byte pad to make the total length even.
#
# Usage.
#
# Reading AIFF files:
#	f = aifc.open(file, 'r')
# or
#	f = aifc.openfp(filep, 'r')
# where file is the name of a file and filep is an open file pointer.
# The open file pointer must have methods  read(), seek(), and
# close().  In some types of audio files, if the setpos() method is
# not used, the seek() method is not necessary.
#
# This returns an instance of a class with the following public methods:
#	getnchannels()	-- returns number of audio channels (1 for
#			   mono, 2 for stereo)
#	getsampwidth()	-- returns sample width in bytes
#	getframerate()	-- returns sampling frequency
#	getnframes()	-- returns number of audio frames
#	getcomptype()	-- returns compression type ('NONE' for AIFF files)
#	getcompname()	-- returns human-readable version of
#			   compression type ('not compressed' for AIFF files)
#	getparams()	-- returns a tuple consisting of all of the
#			   above in the above order
#	getmarkers()	-- get the list of marks in the audio file or None
#			   if there are no marks
#	getmark(id)	-- get mark with the specified id (raises an error
#			   if the mark does not exist)
#	readframes(n)	-- returns at most n frames of audio
#	rewind()	-- rewind to the beginning of the audio stream
#	setpos(pos)	-- seek to the specified position
#	tell()		-- return the current position
# The position returned by tell(), the position given to setpos() and
# the position of marks are all compatible and have nothing to do with
# the actual postion in the file.
#
# Writing AIFF files:
#	f = aifc.open(file, 'w')
# or
#	f = aifc.openfp(filep, 'w')
# where file is the name of a file and filep is an open file pointer.
# The open file pointer must have methods write(), tell(), seek(), and
# close().
#
# This returns an instance of a class with the following public methods:
#	aiff()		-- create an AIFF file (AIFF-C default)
#	aifc()		-- create an AIFF-C file
#	setnchannels(n)	-- set the number of channels
#	setsampwidth(n)	-- set the sample width
#	setframerate(n)	-- set the frame rate
#	setnframes(n)	-- set the number of frames
#	setcomptype(type, name)
#			-- set the compression type and the
#			   human-readable compression type
#	setparams(nchannels, sampwidth, framerate, nframes, comptype, compname)
#			-- set all parameters at once
#	setmark(id, pos, name)
#			-- add specified mark to the list of marks
#	tell()		-- return current position in output file (useful
#			   in combination with setmark())
#	writeframesraw(data)
#			-- write audio frames without pathing up the
#			   file header
#	writeframes(data)
#			-- write audio frames and patch up the file header
#	close()		-- patch up the file header and close the
#			   output file
# You should set the parameters before the first writeframesraw or
# writeframes.  The total number of frames does not need to be set,
# but when it is set to the correct value, the header does not have to
# be patched up.
# It is best to first set all parameters, perhaps possibly the
# compression type, and the write audio frames using writeframesraw.
# When all frames have been written, either call writeframes('') or
# close() to patch up the sizes in the header.
# Marks can be added anytime.  If there are any marks, ypu must call
# close() after all frames have been written.
#
# When a file is opened with the extension '.aiff', an AIFF file is
# written, otherwise an AIFF-C file is written.  This default can be
# changed by calling aiff() or aifc() before the first writeframes or
# writeframesraw.
