Some Features request

[mohammadne]

1-
in my case the user , based on the UI can selected a album so I don't know which album he/she will be choose so what I did is to set _queue in AudioPlayerTask:
final _queue = <MediaItem>[];
and I add mediaItems to it with a for loop in UI in AudioService.addQueueItem()
but the problem is that user need to press next button to have a the behavior when we set in final _queue = <MediaItem>[];
2-
also there is multiple playing state , means playing state can be playInOrder , shuffle , repeatQueue , repeatCurrentlyAudio and ... .
so in

void _handlePlaybackCompleted() {
    if (hasNext) {
      onSkipToNext();
    } else {
      onStop();
    }
  }

we have multiple states , how we can handle it after calling AudioService.start() to handle state ?
3-
in modern music players there is an smooth play and pause , means when we pause the audio the sound will not suddenly drop to zero , for example it takes one second to pause in smooth way.
adding this feature is awesome .
4-
can you please explain how to use onFastForward
5-what is onRewind in AudioPlayerTask and shouldPreloadArtwork in AudioService.start()

Can you suggest what API you would like added?

audio_service doesn't try to handle anything more than what is necessary to interface with standard remote control clients and background APIs. That does not mean that you can't have additional state which you implement in your own way, but it does mean that audio_service is not responsible for it.

There is a customAction call which should allow a client to send custom actions like "shuffle" to the background audio task. In the future, there may also be custom events that the background task can broadcast to clients. Until then, you can use standard Dart APIs to communicate bidirectionally between the isolates using IsolateNameServer. That class is documented in the standard Dart API documentation.

This plugin isn't actually involved in playing sound. Whatever other plugins you're using to play sound, you should request that feature request with those plugins.

can you please explain how to use onFastForward

See #146 but replace the word "pause" with "fastForward", and that can provide an explanation. Also, study the example and look at how "pause" works and that is the same as how "fastForward" works. The plugin doesn't care how you implement the callbacks, it is up to you what you want them to do.

5-what is onRewind in AudioPlayerTask and shouldPreloadArtwork in AudioService.start()

onRewind is like onFastForward. You can implement the callback to do whatever you want it to do. However, I would strongly suggest that you implement them to rewind and fast forward the audio. Just like you can implement "pause" to do whatever you want, but I would strongly suggest that you implement it to pause the audio.

shouldPreloadArtwork is undocumented since most people do not need it and the implementation of it is not reliable, so I don't necessarily recommend that you use it. But you can search the past issues and find the discussion of it.

Can you clarify your first point?
