Show HN: A stream-based Flutter audio module with CarPlay/Android Auto
paweljanda Monday, February 23, 2026Hi! We open-sourced mt_audio, a stream-based audio module for Flutter that wraps just_audio + audio_service behind a single facade.
We built this because in multiple production apps (podcast/radio/audiobook-like flows) we kept re-implementing the same glue: background playback, notifications, queue handling, stream/state wiring, and integration edge cases. The goal is a small dependency that gives a consistent API and reduces app-level complexity (no required external state management).
Key features:
background playback + system notifications
queue management (playlist-first workflows)
Android Auto & Apple CarPlay support behind the same facade
example app + ready UI widgets (Now Playing / controls)
Feedback welcome — especially on API shape, missing edge cases, and docs/examples.
