Is there a way to delay / buffer the audio coming from the TTS a bit? I feel like hearing some small audio holes using 11labs and gemini flash. Waiting for e.g. 100MS before the audio is actually starting to be played could solve that

Thanks for reaching out, Nikolaus. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

using livekit agents python SDK and JS client SDK. Solution within livekit

In the LiveKit JavaScript client SDK, I've got a cool trick to help you manage audio playback! 🎧 You can use the setPlayoutDelay method of the RemoteAudioTrack class to set a buffer delay that helps smooth out your audio experience. Let me show you how:

// Set a playout delay of 2 seconds
remoteAudioTrack.setPlayoutDelay(2);

Think of this like creating a little "audio cushion" that helps handle network ups and downs. It's super handy for keeping your sound crystal clear! And if you're curious about what delay you currently have, no worries – you can easily check with getPlayoutDelay:

// Get the current playout delay in seconds
const currentDelay = remoteAudioTrack.getPlayoutDelay();

Quick heads up – I couldn't track down specific details about audio buffering in the Python SDK. But hey, if you're scratching your head about anything, just ask! I'm here to help make your audio experience as smooth as possible. 😊 Sources: RemoteAudioTrack | LiveKit JS Client SDK - v2.8.1
