Apology for the late response. Was out of town for a few days.
Yes, we were bummed that an audio widget did not make it into 1.3 as it was originally planned. One of the prerequisite issues was that AppSync’s old 2Mb upload capacity was easily max’ed out by all but the smallest audio file. So we have now up’ed it to 5Mb and have much greater capacity for future upgrades.
I expect it is going to be addressed very soon now. There are currently 2 parallel releases being developed and I can’t say which this widget will be included in – but I expect it soon. I will post an update on the News and Announcements forum to keep everyone up to date on an audio widget status.
