Godot reverse audio (maybe not first one)

There is a way to reverse audio with that ?
Audioplayer.seek(audioplayer.get_playback_positio() - 0.03)

Are you looking/asking for a function like:

# inside of AudioStreamPlayer

func seek_by(amount_secs: float) -> void:
    seek(get_playback_position() + amount_secs)

Such that you could write code like

$AudioStreamPlayer.seek_by(3.0)  # moves 3 seconds ahead
$AudioStreamPlayer.seek_by(-2.5)  # moves 2.5 seconds back

? Or are you looking for something else?

Kinda...
But better set input sec to 0.03 or around it for reverse playing
and it jus worked perfectly 🙂
Soo we can have some fun 😂

What kinds of use cases would you have for shifting the playback position forward and backward by a certain amount? There's more or less only one use case that occurs to me, so as a result I think it might make more sense just to write your own helper method like

func seek_by(amount_secs: float) -> void:
    $AudioStreamPlayer.seek($AudioStreamPlayer.get_playback_position() + amount_secs)

to use, rather than add it to the AudioStreamPlayer class itself where it would be seldom used.

Thanks for the proposal! Consolidating in #3207.
