[New-bugs-announce] [issue42633] Wave documentation doesn't mention signed/unsigned requirements

[Matthew Walker]

New submission from Matthew Walker <mattgwwalker at gmail.com>:

It would be very useful if the documentation for Python's Wave module mentioned that 8-bit samples must be unsigned while 16-bit samples must be signed.

See the Wikipedia article on the WAV format: "There are some inconsistencies in the WAV format: for example, 8-bit data is unsigned while 16-bit data is signed" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV

Although I haven't contributed previously, I would be pleased to make such a contribution if it would be appreciated.
