The program appears to work fine as written, in fact, but apparently was not doing exactly what I thought. I assume the stream would be closed at the end of the program if I did not do it explicitly, but it is sloppy. Interesting that the following clawav.wait() statement seem to function fine even though the close statement lacked its parens.
