Editor-time sound engine in Unity

Question

It was posted in august 2015 that a editor-time version of Wwise was on the roadmap for Wwise. Is there a ny update for that?
 

If it's still far on the roadmap, is there any not-so-subtle restrictions that I would hit if I try to implement this feature by manually initializing and maintaining the engine in the editor?

Comments

I would also love to hear more from the Wwise team on this topic.

Answer 1

We needed to play audio files from the Wwise project in one of our Unity Editor tools. We got it working by using NAudio to play the audio files.

Answer 2

In case someone will be looking here for solution in future (like I did this morning ;-)), here's a simple way to make this work I've come up with: https://gist.github.com/zedarus/aeb36c59c5269df4bc991aebc70db95f
