Introducing system audio
Replit has introduced system audio integration for its online programming environment, allowing users to experience sound from their projects. This feature, which is opt-in due to resource costs, enables audio output from applications running within Replit. The system works by using a custom Rust-based proxy that captures audio from PulseAudio, transcodes it, and embeds it within the VNC protocol for playback in the browser. AI
