Is it possible to play audio file or stream?

Question

Is it possible to play audio file or stream using actions-on-google-nodejs library?

Answer 1

Using SSML you can return an audio clip up to 120s.

<speak>
  <audio src="https://actions.google.com/sounds/v1/animals/cat_purr_close.ogg">
    <desc>a cat purring</desc>
    PURR (sound didn't load)
  </audio>
</speak>

Edit

If you want to play audio the mp3 file (over 120s), you need to use Media Responses

if (!conv.surface.capabilities.has('actions.capability.MEDIA_RESPONSE_AUDIO')) {
      conv.ask('Sorry, this device does not support audio playback.');
      return;
    }
    conv.ask(new MediaObject({
      name: 'Jazz in Paris',
      url: 'https://storage.googleapis.com/automotive-media/Jazz_In_Paris.mp3',
      description: 'A funky Jazz tune',
      icon: new Image({
        url: 'https://storage.googleapis.com/automotive-media/album_art.jpg',
        alt: 'Ocean view',
      }),
    }));
