Why does decodeAudioDataSource save file in the device file system if file is already a local file?

Hi,

This part of the docs mention:

react-native-audio-api/packages/audiodocs/docs/core/base-audio-context.mdx

Lines 143 to 151 in 44369fc

	### `decodeAudioDataSource`
	The above method lets you decode audio data file. It saves file in the device file system.
	| Parameters | Type | Description |
	| :---: | :---: | :---- |
	| `sourcePath` | `string` | Path to audio file located on the device. |
	#### Returns `Promise<AudioBuffer>`.

My question is:

If decodeAudioDataSource accepts a local file path, why does it:

It saves file in the device file system.
?

Am i reading this wrong or why does it resave an already saved file?

Hey, it is "docs-issue" -leftover from the early implementation, where decoudeAudioDataSource also took care of fetching/caching the file, currently it only reads the provided local file content

Hope the docs get updated!
