Hello,

I am writing a python programme which will record audio into a .wav file.

I need to play the .wav file with VLC while it is still being recorded.

Have you any suggestions what python functions I should use to write to the file so that VLC sees that the file has been updated and load the new audio into the playout stream?

Thanks,
Jim

On Windows I'm quite sure you can't read a file which is actually open for writing.
Not to mention in the case of a WAV file the header is written down at the end, when the file is completed, so no header no playback.
