Can svelte-sound be used manually?

[iguesspaul]

Title.

I would like to use it for both some button interactions but also for some game events (clearing a level for example)

Is this possible

[Rajaniraiyn]

Currently it is not possible in svelte-sound but you can directly use Howler.js for this.

It is bit harder to implement as most of the browsers don't allow audio without user interaction (but there are workarounds for games kinda apps)

@iguesspaul Can you suggest an example API that you would like to use for svelte-sound manually. Like below

import { SyntheticSound } from "svelte-sound"
import success_sound from "./success.mp4"

const options = {
// options for svelte-sound
}

const levelClearedEffect = new SyntheticSound(success_sound, options);

levelClearedEffect.play()

will this kind of API will be easier to use or you would like something else?

[iguesspaul]

The example api you had shown would be suited perfectly for me. However, the only extra thing I would perhaps like to see is the ability to reuse sounds (play them more than once, which in howler involves a whole reloading process). For the rest, this has been great library to use

@iguesspaul You're most welcome for the feedback. I'd like to inform you that the most recent release of svelte-sound (v0.6.0) now includes a feature that allows manual sound playback without the need for DOM elements. For further insights, please refer to the details provided in the README.md.
