Include audio file in executable

[Mistera91]

Hello !
I am searching for a way to play some sound directly from inside the executable : for other low-level audio crates, this is, according to people online, usually done using the include_bytes!() macro, but in this crate, I can’t find a way to generate a StaticSoundData from anything else than a path.
If you manage to accomplish what I just talked about, or have any idea that could help in doing so, feel free to let me know !

You already can actually!

include_bytes!() yields a &'static [u8; N], which implements AsRef<[u8]> + 'static and can be wrapped into a Cursor<&[u8]>, which both StaticSoundData and StreamingSoundData support with from_cursor :

use kira::{
    manager::{AudioManager, AudioManagerSettings, DefaultBackend},
    sound::static_sound::StaticSoundData,
};

fn main() {
    use std::io::Cursor;

    let bytes = include_bytes!("wild-cherry-play-that-funky-music.mp3");
    let cursor = Cursor::new(bytes);
    let data = StaticSoundData::from_cursor(cursor).expect("read static sound data from cursor");
    let duration = data.duration();
    let mut manager: AudioManager<DefaultBackend> =
        AudioManager::new(AudioManagerSettings::default()).expect("audio manager");
    manager.play(data).expect("play sound data");
    
    std::thread::sleep(duration);
    // depending on its size, you can experience some latency before sound gets loaded in memory and played
}

This works ! Thank you very much !
