Thanks for reaching out, ashutosh. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Yes — you can play a custom audio file with the BackgroundAudioPlayer. • The player accepts a file path string for 
ambient_sound
, 
thinking_sound
, or via the 
play
method. • Supported formats: MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG, Opus, WebM, MP4 (decoded via FFmpeg or optimized WAV decoder). • Example usage: ◦ Python: 
background_audio.play("/path/to/my-custom-sound.mp3")
◦ TypeScript: 
backgroundAudio.play("/path/to/my-custom-sound.mp3");
Would you like an example for your platform (web, Node, or Python) or help with file path/format issues? Sources: Background audio | LiveKit Documentation, with interactive elements

Yes — BackgroundAudioPlayer supports infinite (looping) playback. • Use the 
loop
option with `play()`: ◦ Python: 
background_audio.play("/path/to/my-custom-sound.mp3", loop=True)
◦ TypeScript: 
backgroundAudio.play("/path/to/my-custom-sound.mp3", { loop: true });
• Or set 
ambient_sound
when creating the player — it will automatically loop for the session: ◦ 
background_audio = BackgroundAudioPlayer(ambient_sound="/path/to/my-custom-sound.mp3")
