Because aplay does play the wav file well after it is "primed" by playing some sounds with PyAudio, I wonder what PyAudio is doing and whether I could instruct aplay to do the same through some command-line option. Just for completeness I should add that I observed this behaviour with the soundcard plugged on different computers, as well as with the Debian testing branch and the current Ubuntu development branch. I removed pulseaudio before running any of these tests as it has other problems for me: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2012-October/014756.html Probably I can circumvent the onset/offset transient issue with a function that automatically plays some sounds with pulseaudio each time my pyqt4 program starts. I will also have to check that the soundcard plays sounds with 24-bit depth.
