(I am new to Rust, sorry if question is stupid)
In my application (bevy, but not relevant for this problem), I am trying to load all short sounds into memory, so that it can be available immediately when needed. I have some sort of sound_cache:
pub cached_sounds: HashMap<String, StaticSoundData>;
...
if let Some(sound_data) = cached_sounds.get(&self.asset) {
let _handle = kira_manager.play(sound_data.clone()); // TODO can we ever play a song without cloning from cache?
} else {
tracing::info!("SFX asset not found in cache: {}", self.asset);
}It seems that the only way to pass the StaticSoundData to play function is to clone it, which feels stupid: we have he whole song data in memory, it's immutable and why on earth we need to make a copy of it every time we want to play it. Song data can be really long.
Question: what would be the most efficient, most normal, most idiomatic way to cache the sounds in memory with Kira.
