Audio Buttons

Buttons that can be used to interact with the howler.

howlerPlayButton, howlerPauseButton, howlerPlayPauseButton and howlerStopButton will all be applied to the current track.

howlerBackButton and howlerForwardButton will change the track position by a specified amount of time.

howlerPreviousButton and howlerNextButton will play the previous/following track supplied to the player.

howlerVolumeDownButton and howlerVolumeUpButton will change the volume of the player by a specified percentage.

howlerButton is a customisable version of any of the above individual button.
