I have not seen a Python wrapper for the multimedia APIs in winmm.dll.  
There are a couple of references in Google, but no good hits.

However, you could certainly construct one with ctypes.  In your case, 
all you should need is the mciSendString command.  Everything you have 
done with mciSendCommand can be done with the simpler mciSendString 
commands, kind of like this:

  mciSendString( "open new type waveaudio alias cap" )
  mciSendString( "set cap bitspersample 16 channels 1 samplespersec 44100" )
  mciSendString( "record cap" )
