Gravação de som usando python

Estou tentando gravar algum som com o RPI usando a biblioteca python e pyaudio e enfrentando alguns problemas interessantes - saída de console sem graça ao tentar usar o pyaudio e muito ruído misturado na gravação.

Aqui está o que estou fazendo no meu script python:

import pyaudio, wave, utils

BUFFER_SIZE = 1024
REC_SECONDS = 5
RATE = 44100
WAV_FILENAME = utils.generate_random_token()
FORMAT = pyaudio.paInt16

#init sound stream
pa = pyaudio.PyAudio()
stream = pa.open(
    format = FORMAT,
    input = True,
    channels = 1,
    rate = RATE,
    input_device_index = 7,
    frames_per_buffer = BUFFER_SIZE
)

#run recording
print('Recording...')
data_frames = []
for f in range(0, RATE/BUFFER_SIZE * REC_SECONDS):
    data = stream.read(BUFFER_SIZE)
    data_frames.append(data)
print('Finished recording...')
stream.stop_stream()
stream.close()
pa.terminate()

A seguinte saída do console sai quando instancia o PyAudio () - estou perdendo algum tipo de configuração do alsa que preciso fazer para corrigir o problema?

Houve / houve um problema na porta USB do Pi que significava que ele pode / pode ficar sobrecarregado1 com dados que fazem com que ruídos de estalo e borbulhamento sejam incluídos em suas gravações, isso pode ser corrigido com uma atualização do firmware do Pi:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install rpi-update
$ sudo rpi-update

Gravação e reprodução de áudio PyAudio Isso deve corrigir o problema.
