Many thanks for your reply, Antonio.

I had problems with that, because in Windows you have to replace paths
then "\\" with "/".

Your fix solves the issue, but I still needed to add:

        self.audiofilename = sys.argv[1].replace("\\", "/")

Otherwise, I don’t get paths working right in Windows. I wonder whether
this is intended.

Many thanks for your help,
