New submission from Matthew Walker <mattgwwal...@gmail.com>:

It would be very useful if the documentation for Python's Wave module mentioned 
that 8-bit samples must be unsigned while 16-bit samples must be signed.

See the Wikipedia article on the WAV format: "There are some inconsistencies in 
the WAV format: for example, 8-bit data is unsigned while 16-bit data is 
signed" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV

Although I haven't contributed previously, I would be pleased to make such a 
contribution if it would be appreciated.
