>>> f = wave.open('test.wav')

This should play the WAV file.
This should play the WAV file. Note that this will read the whole file into RAM
so it has to be small enough to fit in it.
To play larger wave files you will have to use the micro-SD card to store it.
Also the file must be read and sent to the DAC in small chunks that will fit
the RAM limit of the microcontroller. Here is an example function that can
play 8-bit wave files with up to 16kHz sampling::
import wave
from pyb import DAC
from pyb import delay
dac = DAC(1)
def play(filename):
f = wave.open(filename, 'r')
total_frames = f.getnframes()
framerate = f.getframerate()
for position in range(0, total_frames, framerate):
f.setpos(position)
dac.write_timed(f.readframes(framerate), framerate)
delay(1000)
This function reads one second worth of data and sends it to DAC. It then waits
one second and moves the file cursor to the new position to read the next second
of data in the next iteration of the for-loop. It plays one second of audio at
a time every one second.
