`discord-audio-stream` is a small TypeScript library for managed Discord voice playback through
`@discordjs/voice` and ffmpeg.
Discord voice streams need careful lifecycle handling. This package manages the voice connection, ffmpeg process,
raw PCM resource creation, optional reconnect renewal, and predictable cleanup so your bot code stays small and readable.
It manages the Discord voice connection, ffmpeg process, raw PCM audio resource, optional renewal, and cleanup. Keep one
`AudioManager` per guild, usually in a `Map<string, AudioManager>`, and call `dispose()` when that manager will not be
reused.
> **Recommended best practice:**
> Keep one `AudioManager` per guild, usually in a `Map<string, AudioManager>`. Update the connection or source through
> `setConnection()` and `setSource()`, then call `start()`. When playback stops, call `stop()`. When the manager will not
> be reused, call `dispose()` to release timers, streams, ffmpeg, and the voice connection.
## Support
> **For large bots:**
> Queue many simultaneous starts, for example with [`p-queue`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/p-queue), so the host does
> not spawn too many ffmpeg processes in the same tick.

## 📝 Usage
## Installation
### Installation
**Node.js `22.22.3` or newer is required.**
Install the library and the required voice packages:
Node.js `22.22.3` or newer is required.
```bash
npm install discord-audio-stream @discordjs/voice prism-media @snazzah/davey opusscript
```
`ffmpeg` must be available either on the host PATH or through the optional `ffmpeg-static` package:
```bash
npm install ffmpeg-static
```
Use `ffmpeg.mode: 'native'` for PATH-based ffmpeg and `ffmpeg.mode: 'static'` for `ffmpeg-static`.
`libsodium-wrappers` is optional. Install it only when your runtime does not support `aes-256-gcm`:

For bundled ffmpeg support, install `ffmpeg-static` and use `ffmpeg.mode: 'static'`:
```bash
npm install ffmpeg-static

If ffmpeg is already available on the host PATH, use `ffmpeg.mode: 'native'`.

## ⚙️ API
For large bots, queue many simultaneous starts so the host does not spawn too many ffmpeg processes in the same tick.
### Constructor
## Lifecycle
```ts
manager.setConnection(connectionOptions);
manager.setSource(source);
await manager.start(); // connect() + play()
manager.pause();
manager.resume();
await manager.stop(); // stops playback and destroys the voice connection
manager.dispose(); // final cleanup; the manager cannot be reused
```
`connect()` joins the configured voice channel. `play(source?)` starts playback on an existing connection. Use `start()`
when you want both.

### ffmpeg Modes
- `mode: 'native'` uses the `ffmpeg` executable from the host environment.
- `mode: 'static'` resolves the optional `ffmpeg-static` package.
- `executablePath` overrides both modes and is useful for Docker images or custom ffmpeg builds.
Default output is raw Discord-compatible PCM: `s16le`, `48000 Hz`, `2 channels`.
Default ffmpeg output is raw Discord-compatible PCM: `s16le`, `48000 Hz`, `2 channels`.
You can override ffmpeg arguments through `ffmpeg.inputArgs` and `ffmpeg.outputArgs`. When you override them, you are
responsible for keeping the output compatible with `StreamType.Raw`.
### Renewal
By default, the manager schedules a renewal after `5_400_000 ms` so long-running streams can reconnect periodically.
Set `renewIntervalMs: false` to disable this behavior:
Set `renewIntervalMs: false` to disable it. `stop()` and `dispose()` always clear the renewal timer.
