I have a need to detect when a specific time stamp is reached in an AKPlayer. When that point is reached, I move the playhead back to repeat a section of the song to support a vamp feature in the app.
My current approach is to use a Timer that's fired every millisecond to check if the player.currentTime has met or exceeded the specific time. The problem I see is the currentTime is not changing rapidly enough to detect this - it seems to update about every 11 milliseconds which isn't precise enough for my use case. The audio exceeds the time stamp before I catch it. Here you can see the value doesn't change each time the timer is fired, and when it does change it's a difference of 11.6 milliseconds, so if I needed to know when the player hit 0.5125 seconds, I wouldn't detect that until the player had run about 10 milliseconds over that time.

Another option I explored was trying to observe the currentTime with KVO but unfortunately this is never invoked.
currentTimeObserver = player.observe(\.currentTime) { (player, change) in
print("Changed to \(player.currentTime)")
}
Is there a way to more precisely track the currentTime or otherwise register to be notified when it reaches a specific time stamp?
