A quick search for [audio](https://react.parts/native?search=audio) or [sound](https://react.parts/native?search=sound) reveals packages for iOS and/or Android, tackling different problems in the audio space: Recording, playing, streaming, etc.\r\n\r\nI briefly talked to @janmonschke of @soundcloud about the possibility of adding some sort of JavaScript API for audio. I also mentioned this to @davidaurelio.\r\n\r\nHere are some questions:\r\n\r\n- Main reason for this issue: Should a cross-platform Audio API be in core at all?\r\n- Which use cases are most important? Playing from files, synthesizing sounds, mixing?\r\n- Would the Web Audio API or a subset of it be a good blueprint to fulfil the use cases?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/facebook/react-native/issues/comments/163842701","html_url":"https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/4711#issuecomment-163842701","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/facebook/react-native/issues/4711","id":163842701,"user":{"login":"dsibiski","id":2922932,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2922932?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/dsibiski","html_url":"https://github.com/dsibiski","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dsibiski/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dsibiski/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dsibiski/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dsibiski/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dsibiski/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dsibiski/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dsibiski/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dsibiski/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dsibiski/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-11T05:09:26Z","updated_at":"2015-12-11T05:09:26Z","body":"@ehd @janmonschke @davidaurelio I'd be interested in chipping in and contributing to whatever you guys try to do. I have a project which needs a good sound library (ie. play, pause, scrubbing, streaming, etc) and am willing to put in some work to get it out there! :)"}}
