any answers?

Answer

There are a few more dependencies which have to be manually installed before using python’s pyaudio.
Execute these commands and you must be fine:

sudo apt-get install libasound-dev portaudio19-dev libportaudio2 libportaudiocpp0

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libav-tools

sudo pip install pyaudio
