Inquiry about latest version of OwnAudioSharp

[ZachjuKamashi]

Hello!

I am wanting to make an open source Godot music player with the help of a friend and with your library. The earlier versions relied on other libraries which supported a lot more audio formats! Will other formats receive support such as .ogg? I've already built it around the earlier version due to said more audio format support, however it had a rather weird lag issue. Loading a track to play it caused immense lag and It couldn't be put off the main thread which resulted in the program freezing temporarily when rapidly changing tracks which is even worse on a HDD. I'm unsure of whether this lag issue is resolved on the newer 2.0.0+ versions. For now the lag issue was mitigated by putting animations off the main thread and slowing them down to appear as less laggy, but this is less than ideal and I wouldn't want it to stay like this if possible.

Also I noticed in the newer 2.0.0+ API docs that you mention the default initialization is now 48kHz, stereo, 512 frames, is this automatically changed when you play an audio file that has a higher frequency, say like 192kHz? or does this have to be reconfigured every time you play a new audio file? If so this is also less than ideal as I'd have to grab that information off of TagLib before playing as that is what I use for metadata but it also offers grabbing the audio sample rate as well as audio bitrate

Async Audio Engine Usage

Hi!
Thank you for the information!
I'm aware of the issue - direct use of the audio engine blocks the main thread.
A fix is currently in progress!
Until the fix is ready, I recommend the following solution for async usage:

// ✅ GOOD - Async initialize
await Task.Run(() => OwnaudioNet.Initialize(config));

// ✅ GOOD - Using wrapper (lock-free)
var wrapper = new AudioEngineWrapper(engine);
wrapper.Send(samples);  // <0.1ms, doesn't block UI

// ✅ GOOD - Async stop
await Task.Run(() => OwnaudioNet.Stop());

Check out the sample code where the UI thread is not blocked:
https://github.com/ModernMube/OwnAudioSharp/tree/master/OwnAudio/OwnaudioExamples/OwnaudioNETtest

The fix is in progress and the updated code will be available soon!

The built-in decoders include an audiformatcoverter that automatically converts all files to the values set in the audioconfig.
So, if you can load any audio, you don't have to do anything with it, the code will convert the data to the set values.
