Has someone already used that module ? I took a look into it, but I'm a bit
confused about the various compression types, case-sensitivity and
compatibility issues [1]. Are Apple's "alaw" and SGI's "ALAW" really the
same encoding ? Can we use the audioop module for ALAW, just like it's
already done for ULAW ?
