[flame_audio] Switch to flutter_soloud for low latency playback? #4012

Description

@Gustl22

Problem to solve

Currently flame_audio uses audioplayers for audio playback. This was useful in the beginning, as this provided a good compromise between reliability on the functionality through the platform, without the need to spend too much effort in implementing low level architecture audio features.

Proposal

Things have progressed and I think especially for games flutter_soloud may be a better fit:

  • Low latency audio playback (all platforms)
  • much more control for audio manipulation
  • more performant
  • same behavior across platforms

While I did not try to use flutter_soloud yet, it sounds worth a try. I also don't know how feasable it is to replace the player in flame_audio under the hood. But for the overall flame experience, we can think of making the switch, either directly in flame (via examples, integration, etc.) or via flame_audio.

  • Are you interested in working on a PR for this?

I would just want to explore, and then decide on what is worth implementing / changing.
