SI bym się nie spodziewał.
Dotarłem do dokumentacji którą chyba znasz. Nie doczytałem się.
Jakaś ilość /strumień ramek.
Przechwyć nagranie np znanego tonu sinusoidalnego, prześlij na pecet, poanalizuj choćby excellem. Radził bym to tego jakość telefoniczną, samplowanie 8KHz, 8bit
PCM.read()
In PCM_NORMAL mode, this function blocks until a full period is available, and then returns a tuple (length,data) where length is the number of frames of captured data, and data is the captured sound frames as a string. The length of the returned data will be periodsize*framesize bytes.
In PCM_NONBLOCK mode, the call will not block, but will return (0,'') if no new period has become available since the last call to read.

Stała "format" daje sugestię jak interpretować.
PCM.setformat(format)
The sound format of the device. Sound format controls how the PCM device interpret data for playback, and how data is encoded in captures.
The following formats are provided by ALSA:
