We want to be able to embed an audio file in a Slack chat via the web API.
So far I managed to files.remote.add but that's just an external link.
Then I tried files.upload and share it to a channel, it does embed and play right inside Slack, but for us it's a suboptimal solution, as users can easily download the file, which is against our requirements.
Is there another way to achieve this?

PS: I've read almost all the documentation, there doesn't seem to be an audio or media block type, although I've seen examples that cite a file block type which is neither documented in the API and it's not defined in Bolt. (at least there are no type definitions for it for typescript)

It's not currently possible to embed a media player (audio or video) via the API. We're constantly tuning our APIs, if you have a specific use case in mind, would you mind writing in to feedback@slack.com and we'll get it logged. Thank you!
