Optimize Audio Recording Player Performance

Problem

The current implementation loads the entire audio recording into memory for playback, which causes UI lag and performance issues with large recordings. This creates a poor user experience, especially when dealing with longer recordings.

Changes Made

1. Disabled Audio Playback Loading

• Removed useAudioPlayer hook to prevent loading audio files into memory
• Converted dynamic player to a static UI component
• Maintained the original UI design for future playback implementation

2. Optimized Debug Chunks

• Commented out debug chunk saving functionality in lib.rs
• Removed unnecessary file I/O operations for debug WAV files
• Reduced disk usage by eliminating temporary debug files

3. UI Modifications

• Made the play button visually indicate its disabled state
• Removed audio file existence checking
• Removed interactive timeline seeking
• Commented out recording path display to maintain clean UI
• Preserved recording visualization and controls for consistent UX

4. Code Cleanup

• Removed unused audio playback related functions and event handlers
• Simplified state management by removing audio player states
• Maintained code structure for future playback implementation

Benefits

1. Improved Performance: Eliminated memory-intensive audio file loading
2. Better Resource Usage: Removed unnecessary debug file operations
3. Future-Ready: Maintained UI structure for future playback implementation
4. Clean UX: Kept consistent user interface while removing non-functional elements

Testing

• Verified recording functionality works as expected
• Confirmed no UI lag when handling large recordings
• Tested recording visualization remains functional
• Validated debug chunk removal doesn't affect core functionality

Notes for Future Implementation

The audio player UI structure has been preserved to make it easier to re-implement playback functionality in the future. When implementing playback:

1. Re-integrate with a streaming audio player
2. Add proper audio buffer management
3. Implement progressive loading for large files
4. Re-enable the interactive timeline
