Problem Description
Audio controls in web apps often rely on standard browser controls (). EaseMotion lacks a custom podcast/audio player UI card featuring animated CSS equalizer bars, play/pause state morphing, and seek bar progress styling.

Why This Matters
Custom audio control bars match application branding and provide visual playback feedback for media platforms, podcasts, and music web apps.

Expected Improvement
A podcast audio player card featuring animated CSS waveform bars that dance during playback, play/pause toggle button morph, track metadata display, and seek bar progress fill.

Proposed Solution
Combine semantic HTML button/range input elements with CSS @Keyframes height scaling for waveform bars, toggling animation-play-state when audio is playing.

Implementation Steps
Create submissions/examples/audio-waveform-player-em/.
Build index.html with player container, track artwork image, play/pause button, equalizer bar container, and time progress indicator.
Write styles.css defining equalizer bar layout, keyframe heights (@Keyframes bar-bounce), seek slider styling, and play/pause morphing transitions.
Add script.js to toggle playback state (playing/paused) and control animation-play-state: running | paused.
Include customization instructions in README.md.

Acceptance Criteria
Equalizer bars animate dynamically when track is playing.
Equalizer bars freeze in place when track is paused.
Play/Pause button updates icon state smoothly.
Seek progress bar reflects current playback progress visually.
Responsive layout adapts cleanly to small card sidebars.
