Summary: small change in ossaudiodev module doc.

Initial Comment:
from
http://docs.python.org/lib/ossaudio-device-objects.html:

AFMT_U8  	Unsigned, 8-bit audio
AFMT_S16_LE 	Unsigned, 16-bit audio, little-endian byte
order
		(as used by Intel processors)
AFMT_S16_BE 	Unsigned, 16-bit audio, big-endian byte order
		(as used by 68k, PowerPC, Sparc)
AFMT_S8 	Signed, 8 bit audio
AFMT_U16_LE 	Signed, 16-bit little-endian audio
AFMT_U16_BE 	Signed, 16-bit big-endian audio

Note how the U:s and S:s are switched compared to
signed and unsigned, this should surely not be like this? 

Perhaps AFMT_AC3 and AFMT_S16_NE should be included as
well? (if anyone uses it?)


also, maybe this line:

write(  data)
    Write the Python string data to the audio device
and return the number of bytes written.

could be subtituted with something like this:

write(  data)
    Write the Python data to the audio device and
return the number of bytes written. The data should be
a string or a list (of amplitude values...something)
