title: Python, C/++,java... any api's for comparing audio signals?
body: <p>Does anyone know of a library for either python, c(++), or java , or even an external app, that I can use to check for a specific audio distortion in an mp3?   My problem is this:
  I have a very robust Django app that automatically does podcasting for a radio station for all the different shows, but about once a week the computer that does the actual recording records corrupted audio, that has a specific interence pattern, it's a chopping sound almost like a helicopter where the audio drops several times a second. I'm not hoping to fix those audio files(as I've tried manually with good editing software and it's just a lost cause) but rather detect weither or not that type of corruption is present so I can switch to the back-up version of the recording automatically. external tools should ideally run on linux, but windows is acceptable as long as it is headless(no forced gui). </p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
