YouTube can stream clear audio streams in aac, vorbis and opus formats. So it will be useful to have ability to play only audio tracks, that will decrease bandwidth and battery usage.

In fact I don't know how to get direct audio links from YouTube but it surly possible, regarding to a lot of browser extensions and services, e.g. https://en.savefrom.net/

We only use the official interface provided by youtube. Of course it is possible and we would love to provide a feature like this but it is against the TOS of youtube
