binary-waterfall uses a python module that was deprecated.

[smart-bee-hub]

Issue:

After installing binary-waterfall through pip with Python 3.14.2, and trying to run it, it will fail to launch as it uses audioop and pyaudioop, two modules that were both deprecated in Python 3.11, and then subsequently removed in Python 3.13. I will paste the log below.

How to replicate:

While using python 3.13 and above, run pip install binary-waterfall
Then, attempt to run binary-waterfall

How to fix

Using another library or module would be a way to fix this issue.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

There is https://pypi.org/project/audioop-lts/ for newer python versions...probably just need to handle the version logic, 3.13+ will install it, otherwise no
