openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature Request] WebChat: Display inline audio/music player for generated TTS and music content [1 comments, 2 participants]

Feature Description

Currently, when generating audio content (TTS, music, etc.) through OpenClaw WebChat, the audio files are generated successfully but do not render as an inline playable player in the chat interface.

Expected Behavior

When MiniMax or other providers generate audio (TTS, music), the WebChat should display an inline audio player similar to how images are displayed, allowing users to:

• See a playable audio player directly in the chat message
• Click to play/pause the generated audio
• View audio duration and playback progress

Current Behavior

• Images: ✅ Render inline correctly
• Audio/Music: ❌ Only generates file, no inline player displayed
• TTS: ❌ Only generates file, no inline player displayed

Reference

MiniMax's official documentation shows this working on their website - generated audio displays with a playable player component.

Environment

• OpenClaw version: 2026.5.12-beta.4
• Channel: WebChat
• Provider: MiniMax (TTS via speech-2.8-hd, Music via music-2.6)

Suggested Implementation

Add an audio player component to WebChat's message rendering system that:

1. Detects audio attachments (mp3, wav, etc.) in agent responses
2. Renders a native HTML5 audio player inline
3. Shows duration and basic playback controls (play/pause, seek)

This would match the user experience of how images are currently rendered.
