Description: Sounds to emit from specific locations onscreen, either in 2D or a 3D world, be attached to game objects, and to pan and change volume dependent on their position in relation to a defined listener point (such as the camera or player character). Also be able to define other processing based on distance, such as reverb and low pass filter.

We would love to have this feature. As a workaround, we emulate positional audio by calculating a distance to a listener and calculating gain and pan.

+1 to this feature request, it would be very useful in making Defold's sound functionality powerful enough for almost all use cases!
