Python audio library recommendation needed for Streaming from URLs with playback controls /u/AtmosphereRich4021 Python Education

we are working on a music player project using yt-dlp to fetch song URLs, and I’m looking for a Python library that can:

Requirements:

• Stream audio directly from URLs without downloading the full file (chunks is ok)
• Provide basic playback controls (play, pause, volume adjustment)
• No need for external desktop application installation like vlc desktop app.

What I’ve tried so far:

1. PlayAudio: Can handle URLs but lacks playback control features
2. VLC/python-mpv/GStreamer: Require desktop applications to be installed
3. PyAudio: Works in chunks but feels outdated and complex to implement (or maybe I’m wrong)
4. Pygame mixer: Requires downloading the full file first

Is there a library I’m missing that meets these requirements? Or perhaps a combination of libraries that could work together? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Edit: Using yt-dlp for fetching URLs, but need a solution for the actual playback part.
