The message is telling you that audiere.dll does NOT define the
mandatory function named 'initaudiere' which it should absolutely
define to allow the "import audiere" statement.  If the import
works fine outside of a py2exe'd environment but fails in the
latter then I suspect you may be getting the "wrong" DLL in the
second case (e.g. maybe you didn't copy audiere.dll to the
directory in which py2exe's tweaked import expects to find it).
