it is slow for pydub to boot up to play in my case

[redstoneleo]

I specified pydub to a dir with ffmpeg , ffprobe and ffplay, I don't know which was used to play the .spx audio file, and I found it is slow for pydub to boot up to play, any way to speed up the boot up process ? While I found it is a bit quick to use mplayer to do the playback.

I think this is because pydub loads the file in memory before you can do anything with it, so you have to wait for the file to decode.

I just found that I could use an .ipynb to spend the long load time on the first cell then iterate with zero load time on segment playback!
