[New-bugs-announce] [issue24608] Certain inputs to wave.open() result in readframes returning a str instead of bytes

[Christophe Biocca]

New submission from Christophe Biocca:

Basically, some (malformed or empty?) WAV strings result in the empty string being returned when calling readframes.

That string cannot be passed back to writeframes() without causing a crash, since it does not implement the buffer interface.
