Docs for new audio system (pause + choose sample)

Question

Hi! I'm having some issues with the new audio system (trying to use functionality). Some of it was asked already by someone else but left unanswered (see here):

• Is there a way to have several audio samples on the same AudioStreamPlayer? Previously one could have many of them in a SamplePlayer and choose which one to play. Is the new recommended workflow to keep one sample per node?

• Is there an equivalent of the set_paused function to pause a stream? I only found methods to stop the stream, but it loses the information of where I am in the stream and I'm not sure how I could get it to resume playing at the same position in the stream.

Thanks!

why can't you get the current playback position then re-feed it into the audiostreamplayer

http://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/classes/class_audiostreamplayer.html?highlight=audiostreamplayer

var latest_pos = player.get_playback_position ( )
player.play(last_pos)

??

That's embarrassing, at the time I couldn't find a method to give me the current position in the stream, get_playback_position is exactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot :)

Do you know if by any chance I'm also missing something obvious about the first question: having several samples in the same node?

you can probably just use a map and set it manually I guess.

I am writing psuedo code

  map = { 0: stream1, 1: stream2: ...  }

  var player = get_node("audiostreamsampleplayer")

 def switch_sample(num):
      player.set_stream( map[num] )

I wonder something like this works.

Note I am using the wrong sytax for gdscript

Any news on this?
Is this the only current solution?

sorry for the bump
