Play Audio Once

Description

Adds an option to the audio block in Gutenberg-editor to prevent the file from being played multiple times.

In the frontend, the option, if activated, is executed on the audio file if the visitor’s browser has JavaScript activated. The fact that an audio file was played is saved in the browser session – not as a cookie. The storage takes place at the moment of playback, which means that it is no longer possible to rewind or fast-forward. The user is not offered an option to reset.

I needed a way to play an mp3 clip for a student who would then answer one or more questions. It was very important that the clip could only be played once to prevent the student from playing the clip over and over again before answering the questions. This plugin does exactly that. It's incredibly easy to implement and has been "bullet proof". Thanks and thanks again!
