The :mod:`audioop` module contains some useful operations on sound fragments.
It operates on sound fragments consisting of signed integer samples 8, 16 or 32
-bits wide, stored in Python strings. All scalar items are integers, unless
+bits wide, stored in bytes objects. All scalar items are integers, unless
specified otherwise.
