how do I stream / send text, transcribed from the user or generated by the large language model, back to the client from the server?

To stream or send text from the server to the client, you can use LiveKit's data channels. According to LiveKit Docs, you can publish arbitrary data messages to other participants in the same room using the

publishData

method. This method allows you to send data packets with a specified topic, which can include text data up to ~15KB in size. For example, on the server side, you can publish a message like this:

await localParticipant.publishData(new TextEncoder().encode("your message"), { 
  reliable: true, 
  topic: 'text-stream' 
});

On the client side, you can listen for these data packets and handle them accordingly:

room.on(RoomEvent.DataReceived, (payload, participant, kind) => {
  const message = new TextDecoder().decode(payload);
  console.log('Received message:', message);
});
