According to PEP-0004 and PEP-0320, the audioop module is deprecated, and scheduled for removal in 2.4. I hadn't noticed this before, but I'd like to ask that it be kept. I've a number of pieces of code using it - both internal (our unified messaging server makes heavy use of it) and external (the shtoom python SIP phone uses it).

I'll second this request for keeping audioop.

I use it in my public project cuisine.bigasterisk.com for assembling stereo audio out of two audio channels and for mixing down multiple audio tracks.

I also intend to try out audioop's search routines as a way of automatically syncing video clips from two cameras that recorded approximately the same audio.
