[Feature] integrate an audio visualizer

[mgogoulos]

What audio library could be added to make audio streaming more interesting?

Eg https://github.com/katspaugh/wavesurfer.js

I can do some research on this and suggest a few.

1. https://github.com/samuveljohns/Wave.js: Minimal wave visualizer for javascript from wave.js Visual audio from element or microphone stream
2. https://github.com/chrisweb/waveform-visualizer#readme: Waveform created using data that got generated using the waveform data generator
3. https://github.com/theanam/webaudio-oscilloscope: A highly customizable oscilloscope for web Audio that supports any source supported by the browser, and renders on an HTML5 canvas.
4. https://github.com/VladislavPetyukevich/audio-visualizer Audio visualizer generator for Node.js with a simple configuration. Supports PNG, JPG for images and MP3, WAV for audio.
5. https://github.com/cbrandolino/local-audio-visualizer Drag an audio file to the browser window. It will be played directly from your hard disk, and you'll have a neat spectrum visualization.

I found a few libraries you can have a look. Let me know if you need more

Hello Sir, Please let me know if you need more findings

I was thinking, an audio visualizer that can show subtitles would be very useful. Podcasts, interviews. If it could work with the same web vtt files we use for videos, that would be awesome!

Yes, that's a great idea. We can use Audio to text libraries to do it.

Considering the fact that MediaCMS is using Video.js to play media, it makes sense to use a Video.js plugin like this one:
