In the worst case, a function rejects valid data. If I have to choose, I prefer to reject valid data than a security vulnerability. But audioop has tests and I don't think that my patch breaks anything :-)

But Python tests lack coverage stats, so it is hard to say anything. Even with tests it is not always possible to be even 80% sure if behavior is complicated or depends on the input data.
