[Feature request] Stream in chunks

[sayem314]

Version of react-native-audio-recorder-player

2.6.2

Platforms you faced the error (IOS or Android or both?)

both

Behavior

When playing a large podcast file from remote location it's not streaming in chunks/real-time but instead, it's downloading it fully first. The server is sending proper responses. react-native-video package plays as expected so it's not server-side issue.

This is a limitation on AVAudioPlayer which we are using. Currently, I am looking to migrate to AVPlayer as described in #284

Please try 3.0.0-beta.1 if you have time.

Closes via #284

Not sure if streaming works in 3.1.0, or at least playback has a long delay on remote files. Starting playback of remote files takes > 3 seconds even on fast network.

Tried to add:

audioPlayer.automaticallyWaitsToMinimizeStalling = false
audioPlayerItem.preferredForwardBufferDuration = 1.0
audioPlayer.playImmediately(atRate: 1.0)

but playback still takes > 3 seconds to start and these settings seems to have no effect.

As it audio file size does not seem change start delay, maybe streaming is working. But then it is still a problem that there is a major delay on start play.
