--------------
The :mod:`wave` module provides a convenient interface to the WAV sound format.
-It does not support compression/decompression, but it does support mono/stereo.
+Only PCM encoded wave files are supported.
+
+.. versionchanged:: 3.12
+
+ Support for ``WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE`` headers was added, provided that the
+ extended format is ``KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_PCM``.
The :mod:`wave` module defines the following function and exception:
class MiscTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
