Are sounds cached after they were decoded?

#1

I have a doubt:

When sounds are downloaded in HTML target, are they cached after or prior they were decoded?

Thanks.

I believe we cache before it is decoded, then after it is played the first time, it is up to how the browser and Howler.js handle it

Do you know what is needed in order to make it cache audio after it was decoded?

Thank you.
