/**
 * This method will load more optimized audio files for background into memory.
 * @param assetPath - relative path of the file or absolute url (file://)
 *        assetId - unique identifier of the file
 *        audioChannelNum - number of audio channels
 *        isUrl - pass true if assetPath is a `file://` url
 * @returns void
 */

    assetId: "fire",
    assetPath: "fire.mp3",
    audioChannelNum: 1,
    isUrl: false
});

/**
 * This method will play the loaded audio file if present in the memory.
 * @param assetId - identifier of the asset
 * @param time - (optional) play with seek. example: 6.0 - start playing track from 6 sec
 * @returns void
 */
NativeAudio.play({
    assetId: 'fire',
    // time: 6.0 - seek time
});

/**
 * This method will loop the audio file for playback.
 * @param assetId - identifier of the asset
 * @returns void
 */

/**
 * This method will stop the audio file if it's currently playing.
 * @param assetId - identifier of the asset
 * @returns void
 */

/**
 * This method will unload the audio file from the memory.
 * @param assetId - identifier of the asset
 * @returns void
 */

/**
 * This method will set the new volume for a audio file.
 * @param assetId - identifier of the asset
 *        volume - numerical value of the volume between 0.1 - 1.0
 * @returns void
 */

  volume: 0.4,
});

/**
 * this method will get the duration of an audio file.
 * only works if channels == 1
 */

})

/**
 * this method will get the current time of a playing audio file.
