<h1>22.4. <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">sunau</span></tt> — Read and write Sun AU files<a class="headerlink" href="#module-sunau" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>The <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">sunau</span></tt> module provides a convenient interface to the Sun AU sound
format. Note that this module is interface-compatible with the modules
<a title="Read and write audio files in AIFF or AIFC format." class="reference external" href="aifc.html#module-aifc"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">aifc</span></tt></a> and <a title="Provide an interface to the WAV sound format." class="reference external" href="wave.html#module-wave"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">wave</span></tt></a>.</p>
<p>An audio file consists of a header followed by the data. The fields of the
header are:</p>
<table border="1" class="docutils">
<colgroup>
<col width="24%" />
<col width="76%" />
</colgroup>
<thead valign="bottom">
<tr><th class="head">Field</th>
<th class="head">Contents</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody valign="top">
<tr><td>magic word</td>
<td>The four bytes <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.snd</span></tt>.</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>header size</td>
<td>Size of the header, including info, in bytes.</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>data size</td>
<td>Physical size of the data, in bytes.</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>encoding</td>
<td>Indicates how the audio samples are encoded.</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>sample rate</td>
<td>The sampling rate.</td>
</tr>
<tr><td># of channels</td>
<td>The number of channels in the samples.</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>info</td>
<td>ASCII string giving a description of the
audio file (padded with null bytes).</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Apart from the info field, all header fields are 4 bytes in size. They are all
32-bit unsigned integers encoded in big-endian byte order.</p>
