title: alternatives to pyaudio for audio processing in python?
body: <p>what other options are there for recording audio and processing the raw signal integers in python besides pyaudio?</p>
  <p>pyaudio is great, but I have found it <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19804709/python-pyaudio-using-multiprocessing">too unstable</a> for reliable use, especially on non-linux platforms. I don't really care too much about windows, but Mac OSX and other unix flavors I would like to support.</p>
