title: Reading input sound signal using Python
body: <p>I need to get a sound signal from a jack-connected microphone and use the data for immediate processing in Python.</p>
  
  <p>The processing and subsequent steps are clear. I am lost only in getting the signal from the program.
  The number of channels is irrelevant, one is enough. I am not going to play the sound back so there should be no need for ASIO on soundcard.</p>
  
  <p>My question is: how can I capture Jack audio from Python?
  (It would be great if there were a package, well documented and niches examples :-).</p>
