Description

[REQUIRED] Use case description

There should be a way to setup a loop between points A and B, without using a ClippingConfiguration to clip the audio.

Proposed solution

setRepeatMode that takes in a start and an end position.

Alternatives considered
  1. ClippingConfiguration also works, but it also alters the duration and timebase of the clipped audio such that it starts at 00:00, and has a duration equal to the clipped segment. This isn't desirable when the clipping is done through a UI based on user selection.
  2. Polling mediaPosition can work but is error-prone and leads to verbose code.
