React-native-sound: !Dont use this library to stream large files

[viperfx]

This should be a disclaimer on the repo itself. This library uses AVAudioPlayer, and thus it is not suitable for large remote files or streaming. It has to download the file into memory and then play it.

It should have been implemented with AVPlayer.

Do you have another library suggestion instead?

What library should be used then? @viperfx

Maybe this https://github.com/futurice/react-native-audio-toolkit

It uses AVPlayer

I stumbled upon this problem as well. A 16 minute 6.7MB file would never load on iOS so I was forced to switch to react-native-audio-toolkit.
