- Added support for multi-line descriptions. Doesn't look nice
yet in Package Manager.

8 bits is 1 byte, and that isn't about to change any time soon.  (I hope!)

  * it no longer takes ssize, which served no purpose apart from
    scolding you if you got it wrong
  * changed the order of the three remaining required arguments
    to (format, channels, rate) to match the order in which they
    must be set
  * replaced the optional argument 'emulate' with 'strict': if strict
    true, and the audio device does not accept the requested sampling
    parameters, raise OSSAudioError
  * return a tuple (format, channels, rate) reflecting the sampling
    parameters that were actually set

Change the canonical name of ossaudiodev.error to
ossaudiodev.OSSAudioError (keep an alias for backwards compatibility).

Remove 'audio_types' list and 'n_audio_types' (no longer needed now that
setparameters() no longer has an 'ssize' argument to police).

in some locales.  This code simplifies the boundary algorithm to use
randint() which is what we wanted anyway.

Bump package version to 2.5.3.

Backport candidate for Python 2.2.3

can happen if __init__ doesn't complete.  Fix it by adding a
try/except to __del__.

or emptying __dict__, just as we do for classic classes.

Remove references to string based exceptions in the doc.

code (which has also been recently overhauled, so that it can be
documented without embarassment).

'error' has been renamed to 'OSSAudioError'.

Minor wordsmithing.

to test the new setparameters() interface.

Modified play_sound_file() to print the elapsed time taken to play the
test sample (to the nearest 0.1 sec).

Rename 'a' (the audio device) to 'dsp' everywhere.

Also fix a memory leak in Tkapp_Split.

This needs to be backported.  I'll leave it up to Barry whether this
is for 2.2.3 or 2.2.4.

  pimp_update if it exists. Upped the version number to indicate this.
  Fixes #731626.
- Added -V (print version) and -u (specify database URL) options when run
  as a command line tool.

sleepycat has told him that since python is OSS and berkeleydb is
being distributed with python for the bsddb library all is fine.

* Allow tuple re-use
* Call tp_iternext directly
