python 获取麦克风声音_如何以python和ffmpeg或类似格式读取实时麦克风音频音量...

I'm trying to read, in near-realtime, the volume coming from the audio of a USB microphone in Python.

I have the pieces, but can't figure out how to put it together.

If I already have a .wav file, I can pretty simply read it using wavefile:

from wavefile import WaveReader

with WaveReader("/Users/rmartin/audio.wav") as r:

for data in r.read_iter(size=512):

left_channel = data[0]

volume = np.linalg.norm(left_channel)

print volume

This works great, but I want to process the audio from the microphone in real-time, not from a file.

So my thought was to use something like ffmpeg to PIPE the real-time output into WaveReader, but my Byte knowledge is somewhat lacking.

import subprocess

import numpy as np

command = ["/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg",

'-f'
