In my code I’m sending a request to a text-to-speech API and receiving a stream of data that represents audio chunks in mp3 format. I write the data to a mp3 file and it works perfectly:

def textToSpeech(text):
    CHUNK_SIZE = 1024
    url = "https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/text-to-speech/pNInz6obpgDQGcFmaJgB"
    headers = {
        "Accept": "audio/mpeg",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "xi-api-key": "mykey",
    }
    data = {
        "text": text,
        "model_id": "eleven_multilingual_v2",
        "voice_settings": {"stability": 0.5, "similarity_boost": 0.75},
    }
    response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        with open("original/test.mp3", "wb") as f:
            for chunk in response.iter_content(chunk_size=CHUNK_SIZE):
                if chunk:
                    f.write(chunk)
    return response.status_code

I want to write the data to a wav file and not mp3 file. I know I can convert that file to wav easily but I want to save I/O operations as I’m calling this function alot.
Simply opening wav file and writing to it will result in a corrupted file.
Another way is to use the wave library to open wav file and write the stream to it:

with wave.open("original/test.wav", "wb") as f:
    f.setnchannels(1)
    f.setsampwidth(2)
    f.setframerate(44100)
    for chunk in response.iter_content(chunk_size=CHUNK_SIZE):
        if chunk:
            audio_data = AudioSegment.from_mp3(io.BytesIO(chunk))
            f.writeframes(audio_data.raw_data)

But the result isn’t in a good quality as I expected, although the values of number of channels, sampling width and framerate are the right values that is expected from the response.
