headless waveform

[lukasa1993]

any way to get events for samples so then we could draw waveform to visualize playback

Getting access to the currently played buffer bytes would also be helpful to create visualisation plugins like WinAmp had. In conjunction with react-gl there are a lot of opportunities.

One way to make them accessible to the JS side would be the transfer them using a SharedValue or a GPU snippet like [react-native-vision-camera](https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera) uses in its frame processors.

I was also trying to get the buffer data for visualization, but so far I failed to use react-native-track-player as import in my Swift project and access the data from there ... This would be a really cool feature!

ur going to diy research for apple; android can reference https://dzolnai.medium.com/an-alternative-android-visualizer-7747df6c6df8.

Nice read in any case, thanks! But I think Apple makes it nearly impossible to tap into a running AVPlayer instance, so no idea if it is possible at all for MacOS ...
