AudioCache.js

Pre-creates and caches a buffer for the specified audio file.
Caching ensures lag-free playback.
However， sound effects cannot be cached.

To minimize performance impact， only one file per category (e.g.， BGM) can be
cached at a time.

The cache is discarded once playback finishes.

This plugin requires the base plugin ”PluginCommonBase.js.”
”PluginCommonBase.js” is located in the following folder
in the RPG Maker MZ installation folder:
dlc/BasicResources/plugins/official
