Description

I'm reaching out to suggest an enhancement for the audio playback functionality. Would it be possible to consider the addition of a startTime parameter to the existing audio play function? This parameter would allow modders to specify the exact point in time from which a sound or music track should start playing, enhancing the ability to synchronize audio with specific game events or scenes.

If this is possible it would allow me to finally fix my biggest gripe with Isaac, which is the constant restarting of music. I swear you only ever hear the first 20-30 seconds of each track in the soundtrack.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing audio play function and tracing how music and sounds are started. Determine where a startTime value could enter the playback path, then verify that a track can begin at the requested position without disrupting existing playback behavior. Done means modders can specify a start time for both sounds and music.
