Cool! This is looking great. Do you think we should ship this with just one backend enabled (and document that fact), or should we endeavor to add the streaming mode...

That sounds good. Some backends will probably more challenging than others to adapt—for example, the Core Audio backend will require fiddling with callbacks to read data from the file.

Good point; it looks like we'll need to read from stdin in binary mode instead of text mode. If you're interested, any chance you could give that a shot? This...

Cool! Thanks for sorting this out. I think the right fix here is to use an `if PY2:` check in `decode.py` to get a bytes stream from stdin. Then we...

Yeah, seems like ffmpeg might work slightly differently depending on where its data comes from. Thanks for looking into this!

I don't have a strong opinion about feature detection (`if 'buffer' in dir(self.readfile)`) vs. version detection (`if sys.version_info >= (3, 0)`). Either one seems fine from here. But I do...

Cool; thanks for the pointer! It looks like aubio uses libav under the hood to do decoding—out of curiosity, is there an advantage you were going for over using libav/ffmpeg...

Nice! That is quite fast.

These all seem reasonable from a high level. I'd of course be interested in talking further about the details—here are some thoughts that may or may not match with what...

Ah, good question. I don't have a counterexample for your policy at the moment, so let's go with that for now. FWIW, the current Confit does support overriding at arbitrary...
