Cool, thanks! Just a few comments from a quick skim:

The number is an integer, so this doesn't make sense, AFAICT.

aw shucks, you're totally right. I had it in there before I figured out how to use special channels correctly.

Why is this commented-out?

Thanks for catching that! Disabled it while getting the hang of the memory layout and forgot to re-enable

Need space around the + operator here
 
Fixed.

Doesn't this just mean you need to use the other endianess of your toneval?

I copy-pasted from thuv1f.py without thinking too hard about it. There's a bunch more code in _decode_tone and _encode_tone that rely on this particular endianness. Can we just leave it as-is, since the other code does it this way?

Need space around the - operator.

fixed

This should be four-space indented.

fixed
 
Also, this could be compacted to:
  mem.skip = "S" if not dont_skip else ""

Thanks! fixed

Need spaces around the - operator.
fixed

Here too.

fixed
