THREE.Audio controls?

[glennflanagan]

I'm looking to implement some sound effects into a game and I've been looking into the THREE.Audio object. I've got the sound effect loading into my scene but it just plays on load.

Is there any way of controlling the playback so the sound effect plays on an event of my choosing?

Oh! Uh! Yeah, THREE.Audio is pretty limited right now. Shouldn't be hard to implement though! :)

That's cool. I'm pretty novice when it comes to javascript stuff. I'll let you know if I manage to figure it out. :-)

I found the API and docs a bit confusing, but this is very powerful web audio synthesis stuff. It would be neat to integrate 3D audio in that library and then use it with three.js.

mrdoob: btw: The author of that library lives in Osaka, Japan. I saw on your twitter feed that you visit that country sometimes. Perhaps you could have a chat with him :-)

Haha! Wow! Ok, we need a way to include libraries... :)

[waldenn]

Yes. I think jspm & systemjs could be a perfect solution for that. With it we can easily include any JS package out there. When I get some time to hack for fun again...

Implemented in #6233.
