Request: Read 24Bit Wav Files

[ChrEnde]

Hello,
this package looks really useful to me as it is the only one I could find that allows me to edit metadata of broadcast wave files. Unfortunately, it seems not possible to read files with a 24bit amplitude resolution (it causes "TypeError: data type '<i3' not understood" at line 319 in chunks.py). If there's some easy way to fix this I would really appreciate that. I'm sorry if I misunderstood something.

Ah, I think I see what's happening here. 24 bits is 3 bytes - an unusual size to read in and doesn't align to standard "word" boundaries. Numpy is understandably throwing a wobbly over it.

Looks like it'll need a bit of thought. Not an impossible feat but not a five minute special either.
