scikits.audiolab on Ubuntu Oneiric - ImportError: No module named _sndfile

Question

Okay, so I wanted to do some basic signal processing in Python and found this great library called scikits.audiolab.

No PPA anywhere to be found. Oh wel

Answer 1

I you don't want to have the warning about alsa headers, just install the lib.

sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev

That worked for me..
