Looks ok to me, but have you tested this with other software that reads/writes wave files?

It appears to work, but I haven't done enough testing to be confident.

You seem to be speculating about the format where you should be reading the reference documentation for this file format (alas, I can't help you find it -- you can Google for it as well as I can :).

This site says it's a "long": http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/wave.htm This site says it's a "ulong": http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/aboutiff.htm

Unsigned makes more sense, considering it's a byte count and would never be negative.

I've CC'd Erik de Castro Lopo, whose word is more definitive than random websites.

Also, patches, are best submitted to SourceForge. Read python.org/dev/.

Oh, sorry, the patch was only to illustrate my idea. I'll submit a proper patch to SF once I hear from Erik.
