Maybe you could adapt the documentation for the registry functions in Mark Hammond's win32all? Not all the APIs are the same but the should mostly do the same thing...

Of course, as soon as I sent this message I remembered that there's also the linuxaudiodev module; that needs documentation as well! (I guess I'll need to add a Linux-specific chapter; ugh.) If anyone wants to document audiodev, perhaps I could avoid the Linux chapter (with one module) by adding documentation for the portable interface.

There's also sunaudiodev. Is it documented? linuxaudiodev should be mostly the same.

There's also the pyexpat module; Andrew/Paul, did one of you want to contribute something for that?

I would hope so!
