The current question is whether you want to denote objects of the byte string type in source code. I.e. do you have the "Lots of audio data" stored in .py files?

Generally, no - with the exception of test cases. In that case, I often end up with byte literals in the source code. (To check that a particular en/de coding operation Did The Right Thing).
