RATE/CHUNK is an integer, but TIME when extracted from sys.argv is a str.
The * operator tells python to repeat the string RATE/CHUNK times:
>>> RATE = 44100
>>> CHUNK = 1024
>>> TIME = "2"
>>> RATE/CHUNK * TIME
'2222222222222222222222222222222222222222222'
You need to convert TIME to an int before evaluating the expression to get
the expected result:
>>> RATE/CHUNK * int(TIME)
