AudioPlaybackState

type AudioPlaybackState = "idle" | "buffering" | "playing" | "paused" | "stopped";

Defined in: src/core/types/audio.ts:393

Runtime state of the audio playback pipeline.

Remarks

Tracks the lifecycle of TTS audio playback within the SDK. State transitions follow this flow:

idle -> buffering -> playing -> paused | stopped -> idle

• 'idle' - No audio is queued or playing
• 'buffering' - Audio chunks are being buffered before playback begins
• 'playing' - Audio is actively being played through the speakers
• 'paused' - Playback is temporarily paused
• 'stopped' - Playback has been stopped (queue cleared)

• AudioCaptureState for the corresponding capture state
• AudioOutputConfig for playback configuration options
