+Decode audio files using whichever backend is available.
+The library currently supports:
+- gstreamer via gst-python.
+- MAD via the pymad bindings.
+- ffmpeg via its command-line interface.
+- The standard library wave and aifc modules (for WAV and AIFF files).
+
+ffmpeg and gst-python are optional dependencies.
+
+If you want to build this for use with Python 3.x (needs the optional
+dependency python3) pass the script PYTHON3=yes, like
+
+ PYTHON3=yes ./audioread.SlackBuild
