Describe the feature you'd like

I'd like to have the ability to upload and embed an audio file in to a page with an inbuilt media player. This references a Discord thread - https://discord.com/channels/578552496637739008/1175572234476195871

In that thread, Dan stated that he thinks it should be easy to adapt the video embed code to audio.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

This would allow page authors/editors to add additional content to their pages. Clearly this would not be beneficial for printed documents, but for environments where the purpose is to keep data in Bookstack it adds one more method of conveying information.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Yes, it can currently be achieved by creating a custom embed code using the URL of the attachment:

<audio src="https://demo.bookstackapp.com/attachments/3?open=true" controls="controls"></audio>

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

1 to 5 years

Additional context

No response
