SoundEngine plays short WAV sound effects on an ESP32 through an I2S DAC. Clips live in flash as byte arrays. The engine mixes any number of them together and streams the result to the I2S peripheral from its own background task, so play() returns immediately and playback never blocks the sketch. Each clip carries its own volume […]
