<p>This module provides access to the audio facilities of the SGI Indy and Indigo
workstations.  See section 3A of the IRIX man pages for details.  You&#8217;ll need to
read those man pages to understand what these functions do!  Some of the
functions are not available in IRIX releases before 4.0.5.  Again, see the
manual to check whether a specific function is available on your platform.</p>

functions with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">AL</span></tt> prefixed to their name.</p>

are passed rather than returning an error status.  Unfortunately, since the
precise circumstances under which this may happen are undocumented and hard to
check, the Python interface can provide no protection against this kind of
problems. (One example is specifying an excessive queue size &#8212; there is no
documented upper limit.)</p>
