Support .wav files

[samyk]

Feature request: It would be nice to be able to open .wav files straight into inspectrum.

This gains additional value in the context of migrating from other tools, ie Baudline, which natively exports RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo

import scipy.io.wavfile
import sys

filename = sys.argv[1]

fs1, y1 = scipy.io.wavfile.read(filename)

assert y1.dtype.name == 'int16'

stereo_to_complex = lambda a: a[0] + a[1]*1j
y1 = y1/65536.

y1 = stereo_to_complex(y1.T).astype('complex64')

filename = filename.replace('wav', 'cf32')

y1.tofile(str(fs1)+'.'+filename)

boring stack-overflow-derived solution that worked for me!

Created pull request #176 . Alternatively you can set the sampling depth manually:

inspectrum -f cs16 file.wav
