How to avoid lag when using WWW class to download sound
i have the following code to load a sound from a server that works:
string url = "some url";
WWW www = new WWW(url);
yield return www;
atmosphereClips[scene][mood][sound] = www.oggVorbis;
But the problem with this code is that it lags a lot when it comes to "AudioClip someAudioClip = www.oggVorbis;" and it is not that big an ogg file that is being downloaded. I think it is because Unity
I have also tried to use WWW.audioClip which does not lag but as I have to download more than one sound in succession (to fill the atmosphereClips array) I don't think I can use that. I have not been able to detect when it was finished at least.
Hope someone has a better, more lag free way to do this.
from the answer:

i managed to prevent a lag when loading some audio with this (needs Unity pro for making asset bundle)
var Audiosrc : AudioSource; Audiosrc = GetComponent(AudioSource); var req : AssetBundleRequest;
function Start () {
var www = new WWW ("http://path_to_Unity_assetbundle/tortoise02.unity3d"); yield www;
req = www.assetBundle.LoadAsync ("tortoise02", AudioClip); yield req;
//Audiosrc.clip = www.assetBundle.LoadAsync ("tortoise02", AudioClip).asset; Audiosrc.clip = req.asset;
if(!Audiosrc.isPlaying && Audiosrc.clip.isReadyToPlay){ Audiosrc.Play();
} }
The end solution proved to be to place the sound in the scene being loaded and only switch over to it when it had been completely loaded.
why dont you have that sound on client side, to avoid the Download, and avoid the bandwidth used for the download, i think that could help
