The audioop module still uses 'int' for most of its sizes; it would be better if it used 'Py_ssize_t' instead, so that data aren't artificially limited to 2Gb on 64-bit systems.

Converting ought to be a fairly straightforward task for someone wanting to get their feet wet with CPython hacking; marking as easy.
