The issues related to PEP 3108 now total 14. With the beta (supposedly) in a week, I am hoping the last minor details can be pulled together or decisions made on what can be postponed and what should definitely be considered a release blocker.

Issue 2847 - the aifc module still imports the cl module in 3.0. Problem is that the cl module is gone. =) So it seems silly to have the imports lying about. This can probably be changed to critical. It shouldn't be a problem to rip everything cl-related out of aifc. The question is how useful aifc will be after that ...

Has someone already used that module ? I took a look into it, but I'm a bit confused about the various compression types, case-sensitivity and compatibility issues [1]. Are Apple's "alaw" and SGI's "ALAW" really the same encoding ? Can we use the audioop module for ALAW, just like it's already done for ULAW ?
