The Audio readyState property is used for returning the current ready state of the audio. The ready state is used for indicating if the audio is ready to play or not. The Audio readyState property is a read-only property. The various numbers depicting different ready states are:
- 0 = HAVE_NOTHING: There is no information related to whether or not the video is ready.
- 1 = HAVE_METADATA: It tells that the metadata for the video is ready.
- 2 = HAVE_CURRENT_DATA: It tells that the data for the current playback position is available, but not enough data to play next frame/millisecond.
- 3 = HAVE_FUTURE_DATA: It tells that the data for the current and at least the next frame is available.
- 4 = HAVE_ENOUGH_DATA: It tells that there is enough data available to start playing.
