- We added a **stop** functionality some time ago via this [pull-request](https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dashboard/pull/449) (via `msg.reset`).
- The **rewind** is certainly not implemented.
- When you look at the [discussion](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-red-dashboard-audio-wish/4798/20) (related to that pull request), we _didn't_ add **pause** functionality in that pull-request. Reason is that web audio doesn't support pause/resume out-of-the-box. There are workarounds to get it done, but I don't have the time at the moment to implement that...

Yes you can use the Interval-node, Inject-node, BigTimer-node ... There are plenty examples available when you search in Google or in this forum.
