Features

• Cross-Platform Audio Engines - Provides a unified cross-platform audio engine that abstracts native web APIs for consistent playback across devices.
• Browser Audio API Wrappers - Provides a unified JavaScript API that abstracts native browser audio engines for consistent cross-platform playback.
• Media Engine Switching - Automatically detects browser capabilities to switch between the most compatible audio playback backends at runtime.
• Audio Playback - Provides a unified JavaScript interface for consistent audio playback across different web browsers and devices.
• Audio Playbacks with Format Fallback - Implements automatic switching between audio formats and backends to ensure playback compatibility across different browsers.
• Playback Controls - Manages audio playback states through commands for playing, pausing, resuming, stopping, and seeking.
• Playback Event Handlers - Triggers specific application functions based on audio states such as loading, playing, or finishing.
• Audio Playback Engines - Allows developers to select specific audio playback engines and codecs to maintain compatibility across various browser environments.
• Chunked Audio Streaming - Implements memory-efficient audio loading by reading files in small segments to enable seeking without full downloads.
• Web Audio Libraries - Acts as a comprehensive web audio library providing a high-level JavaScript API for audio resource and playback management.
• HTML5 Media Element Wrappers - Provides a JavaScript wrapper that normalizes native HTML5 audio element APIs across different web browsers.
• Remote Audio Streaming - Streams audio files from external URLs using the most compatible playback method for the current browser.
• Media Loading Managers - Manages the loading lifecycle of audio files and metadata while optimizing memory usage and handling fallbacks.
• ID3 Tag Readers - Extracts ID3V1 and ID3V2 tags from files to retrieve title, artist, and genre information.
• Audio Frequency Visualizations - Analyzes real-time waveform and frequency data to create graphical representations of audio output.
• Advanced Audio Processing - Applies advanced signal processing including pitch bending, scratching, and equalization to transform audio output.
• Sound Adjustments - Provides controls for adjusting volume levels, stereo panning, and playback rates to modify the final sound.
• Stream Metadata Retrieval - Retrieves real-time metadata and calculates sound duration and buffering progress during the audio loading process.
• ID3 Parsers - Includes a built-in parser to extract song titles, artists, and genre tags from audio files using ID3 standards.
• Real-time Analysis - Retrieves real-time waveform, frequency spectrum, and peak volume data for audio visualization and signal analysis.
• RTMP Stream Pushing - Provides the capability to transmit encoded audio data to a remote media server using the RTMP protocol.
• RTMP and HTTP-FLV Streamers - Includes an RTMP streamer to communicate with media servers and transmit audio content over the network.
• Interactive Sound Effect Managers - Enables interactive audio experiences by controlling pitch, panning, and layering multiple tracks in real-time.
• RTMP Protocol Support - Integrates a network communication layer to stream audio content from media servers using the RTMP protocol.
• Object Lifecycle Managers - Manages the lifecycle of sound objects, ensuring optimized memory allocation through controlled creation and destruction.
• State Lifecycle Callbacks - Uses a callback system to trigger application logic when audio enters or exits states like loading and completion.
• Audio Metadata Parsers - Implements a binary data extractor that reads V1 and V2 ID3 tags to retrieve track and artist information.
• Time-Offset Callbacks - Triggers custom callbacks when a sound reaches a specific time offset or completes its playback.
