python scikits.audiolab Sndfile special chars in file name

[Furqan wasi]

*with code *

# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
import numpy, os

from scikits.audiolab import Sndfile
from os import walk, path, stat
file = u"C:/Users/Furqan/Desktop/查找問題Reference/1.wav"
track1 = file

track_one_file_obj = Sndfile(track1, 'r')

Getting this
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:/python/Interstitial Project/test.py", line 9, in <module>
    track_one_file_obj = Sndfile(track1, 'r')
  File "_sndfile.pyx", line 471, in
scikits.audiolab.pysndfile._sndfile.Sndfile.__init__
(scikits\audiolab\pysndfile\_sndfile.c:4092)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position
24-27: ordinal not in range(128)


*and  with code *

# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
import numpy, os

from scikits.audiolab import Sndfile
from os import walk, path, stat
file = u"C:/Users/Furqan/Desktop/查找問題Reference/1.wav"
track1 = file


track_one_file_obj = Sndfile(track1.decode('utf-16'), 'r')
print(track_one_file_obj)


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:/python/Interstitial Project/test.py", line 9, in <module>
    track_one_file_obj = Sndfile(track1.encode('utf-8'), 'r')
  File "_sndfile.pyx", line 488, in
scikits.audiolab.pysndfile._sndfile.Sndfile.__init__
(scikits\audiolab\pysndfile\_sndfile.c:4251)
IOError: error while opening C:/Users/Furqan/Desktop/查找問題Reference/1.wav
->error while opening file C:/Users/Furqan/Desktop/查找問題Reference/1.wav
