Greetings,<br><br>I&#39;ve been studiyng python and some things are not that clear:<br><br>1- Is python too slow to efectivelly communicate with Jack? PyJack did not seem to work right, so i tried PySndObj&#39;s JackIO object. It did not behave as good as with connection with ALSA. 
<br><br>(btw, I could not acess lots of objects in the SndObj library (like Ocil, Rand, while acessing normally Oscilli and Randh...)&nbsp; Does anyone know why?)<br><br>2- Python comes with the ossaudiodev module for communication with OSS; Alsa is compatible so it works. Shuld one use this module or use the pyalsasound? 
<br><br>3- pySonic - pySonic the wrapper for the FMOD sound library. but it is not opensource... is there a standard library for sound processing in projects like ardour.<br><br>4- Are any differences between &#39;r&#39; and &#39;rb&#39;; &#39;w&#39; and &#39;wb&#39; in: 
<br><br>wave.open(&#39;file&#39;, &#39;r&#39;)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; wave.open(&#39;file&#39;, &#39;rb&#39;)<br>wave.open(&#39;file&#39;, &#39;w&#39;)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; wave.open(&#39;file&#39;, &#39;wb&#39;)<br><br>??<br><br>5- I found pySonic, that seems good but it is not open. MusicKit and PySndObj and omde. Ow yeah, and Pygame. Can anyone expose ihre personal experience and explain why? 
<br><br>Please be nice,<br>Claire<br>
