1 test failed:
    test_ossaudiodev

The failure is caused by dsp.write(data) that doesn't write all data
on my machine.  If it is replaced with dsp.writeall(data) then the test
passes.

The docs [1] say that dsp.write() should write all data by default:

  oss_audio_device.write(data)
  Write the Python string data to the audio device and return the
  number of bytes written. If the audio device is in blocking mode
  (the default), the entire string is always written

The comments in Modules/ossaudiodev.c suggest that dsp.write(data) should
write *all* data unless dsp.nonblock() is called:

    /* Open with O_NONBLOCK to avoid hanging on devices that only allow
       one open at a time.  This does *not* affect later I/O; OSS
       provides a special ioctl() for non-blocking read/write, which is
       exposed via oss_nonblock() below. */
    fd = _Py_open(devicename, imode|O_NONBLOCK);
    ...
    /* And (try to) put it back in blocking mode so we get the
       expected write() semantics. */
    if (fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, 0) == -1) {
        close(fd);
        PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename(PyExc_IOError, devicename);
        return NULL;
    }
