Quick convert raw g711 uLaw audio to a .au file

I had reason to playback some raw g.711 audio data. I made the following script to convert the data to a .au file that is playable.

From the AU file spec.. which is way simple by the way:
You just need to add 6 32-bit header flags.

raw2au.py:

import struct

header = [ 0x2e736e64, 24, 0xffffffff, 1, 8000, 1 ]
o=open('out.au','wb')
o.write ( struct.pack ( ">IIIIII", *header ) )

raw = open('in.raw','rb').read()
o.write(raw)
o.close()

You can probably see that this would be extremely simple to use with other audio formats too. Modify as you need.
Header Bytes:

1. Const AU identifier: 0x2e736e64
2. Size of Header: 24.
3. Size of File: use 0xffffffff for unknown, or you could replace with the actual size.
4. Audio format. 1 is uLaw. From the spec choose whatever you need if it isn’t uLaw.
5. Sample rate. uLaw is always 8000.
6. Channels. 1 channel in this case.
