The audioop module contains a comment that is somewhat troubling from an IP standpoint: /* Code shamelessly stolen from sox, 12.17.7, g711.c ** (c) Craig Reese, Joe Campbell and Jeff Poskanzer 1989 */ Because of this it would be best to remove the current module and re- implement it from scratch (or remove it entirely). |

I would support removing this in Py3k. It seems like a specialty module not worth having in the standard library. Also, is this even being maintained? |

It is, as most "old" standard modules, not actively maintained, but there is always the chance that somebody will fix bugs as they are reported :) Anyway, the algorithms in it won't change, and if you want its removal I predict there will be many people crying out. |

I found severe bugs (which may lead to security vulnerabilities) in audioop: #7673. Nobody fixed these errors (but my issue contains a patch). |
