AudioPlayer should have Play button in Properties Pane

The class AudioPlayer acts similar to the Sound class, but is lacking a “Play” button to hear the audio within studio. With a selected sound object, you are able to preview the sound from the properties pane. This is a fantastic QoL feature and similar QoL features should be maintained in new objects classes.

Expect to see a Play/Preview button when inspecting an AudioPlayer, but it doesn’t exist.

Should have similar QoL features as the Sound object here:

100%. The preview button on Sound instance is used a lot, at least by me. It is occasionally annoying to not have it on AudioPlayer, would be useful.

@quartz708 , @VitalWinter What is the benefit of using an AudioPlayer over Sound?

Yes please, came here looking to see if a feature request has already been made.

Playing around with sound design is much harder when I have to make a new Sound instance just to preview sounds I’ve added >:/

AudioPlayer is basically a Sound but for the new audio API. The new audio API was released a while back and it has got a much better workflow, and a whole tonne more features than old sounds. Just look it up.
