Howler.js PixiJS Audio Loader Parser

howler-pixi-loader-middleware is a utility package that enables PixiJS's asset loader to seamlessly integrate audio files using the Howler.js library. It maps loaded audio assets directly to `Howl` instances, simplifying audio management within PixiJS applications. The current stable version is 5.0.0, which specifically supports PixiJS v8.x and Howler.js v2.x. This package's release cadence is tightly coupled with major PixiJS releases, requiring updates to match new PixiJS loader APIs (e.g., transitioning from middleware to loader parser in v4 for PixiJS v7.x). Its primary differentiator is providing a direct, standardized way to load and manage audio through PixiJS's robust asset pipeline, making it a go-to choice for games and interactive experiences built with PixiJS that require advanced audio features from Howler.js, such as sprite management and Web Audio API capabilities. It abstracts away the need for manual Howler.js instantiation for assets loaded via Pixi's `Assets` system.
