Description
Is there any chance to have audio sample float (in some way) accessible in the user shader code, this will help making cool shaders for audio playback (like old winamp vis plugins).
I know this is hard (buffer, sync and other problems) but will open great scenarios on making players based on mpv

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating how mpv exposes GPU shader code and how audio samples move through playback, then define the buffer and synchronization behavior needed before implementation; done means shader code can reliably access audio sample floats.
