This changes the main documentation, doc strings, source code comments, and a
couple error messages in the test suite. In some cases the word was removed
to fix the grammar.
* avgpp() and maxpp() no more crash on empty and 1-samples input fragment. They now work when peak-peak values are greater INT_MAX.
* ratecv() no more crashes on empty input fragment.
* Fixed an integer overflow in ratecv().
* Fixed an integer overflow in add() and bias() for 32-bit samples.
* reverse(), lin2lin() and ratecv() no more lose precision for 32-bit samples.
* max() and rms() no more returns negative result for 32-bit sample -0x80000000.
* minmax() now returns correct max value for 32-bit sample -0x80000000.
* avg(), mul(), tomono() and tostereo() now round negative result down and can return 32-bit sample -0x80000000.
* add() now can return 32-bit sample -0x80000000.
Added checks for integer overflows, contributed by Google. Some are
only available if asserts are left in the code, in cases where they
can't be triggered from Python code.
This patch adds a-LAW encoding to audioop and replaces the old
u-LAW encoding/decoding code with the current code from sox.
Possible issues: the code from sox uses int16_t.

Bugfix candidate.
A numerically naive computation of output buffer size caused crashes
and spurious MemoryErrors for reasonable arguments.
audioop_ratecv(): Avoid spurious overflow by careful reworking of the
buffer size computations, triggering MemoryError if and only if the
final buffer size can't be represented in a C int (although
PyString_FromStringAndSize may legitimately raise MemoryError even if
it does fit in a C int). All reasonable arguments should work as
intended now, and all unreasonable arguments should be cuaght.
and a couple of functions that were missed in the previous batches. Not
terribly tested, but very carefully scrutinized, three times.
All these were found by the little findkrc.py that I posted to python-dev,
which means there might be more lurking. Cases such as this:
long
func(a, b)
long a;
long b; /* flagword */
{
and other cases where the last ; in the argument list isn't followed by a
newline and an opening curly bracket. Regexps to catch all are welcome, of
course ;)
(1) Use PyErr_NewException("module.class", NULL, NULL) to create the
exception object.
(2) Remove all calls to Py_FatalError(); instead, return or
ignore the errors -- the import code now checks PyErr_Occurred()
after calling a module's init function, so it's no longer a
fatal error for the initialization to fail.
Also did some small cleanups, e.g. removed unnecessary test for
"already initialized" from initfpectl(), and unified
initposix()/initnt().
I haven't checked this very thoroughly, so while the changes are
pretty trivial -- beware of untested code!
