It turns out that this plugin doesn't support audio officially (flutter/flutter#38480 (comment), flutter/flutter#75636). It doesn't work on iOS and if there is any issue in the platform where it does work, there will be no effort spent in fixing it.

Because of this we should switch to another package.

There are several audio packages out there, but all comes with different limitations, which makes the decision of what to use a bit difficult.

just_audio seems like the winner, but here is a list of packages that seem to be actively maintained:

We should definitely use just_audio as it is now marked as a Flutter Favorite.
