Playing audio in Lynx apps?

[Seanitzel]

Hi,

I was wondering how does lynx handle audio?
It probably doesn't have web audio support, but are there any api's for more advanced audio control?

Couldn't see anything about it in the docs

This may duplicated with #149

There is not a formal support for audio control yet, but you can integrate your extensions to Lynx with the following methods.

Audio's controlling are based on Native APIs on each platform. There are two methods to export the native functionalities to JS.

NativeModule

Native Module is used for bring the native features to front-end. You may create a native module with audio functions like

NativeModules.AudioManager.play("xxxx.mp3");

And binding this method to AVAudioPlayer on iOS, and something similar to it on Android.

Custom Native Components

And with a Custom Native Component you can also create something like <audio src="xxx.mp3"/> to play a sound.
