When draining activity, is there a flag to interrupt speech handles and not let them block?

Thanks for reaching out, Anish. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
I understand that managing speech interruptions during draining activity can be a bit tricky. While there isn't a specific flag to directly interrupt speech handles and prevent blocking, LiveKit offers some helpful tools to guide you through this process: • The
draining
flag in the
AgentActivity
class helps by skipping new speech generation when draining is active. • The
interrupt()
method in
AgentActivity
can interrupt both current and queued speech tasks, and it returns an
asyncio.Future
once the interruption is processed. • Additionally, the
allowInterruptions
property of
SpeechHandle
offers control over managing interruptions. These features work together to make handling speech and tasks during draining smoother. If you'd like, I’m here to help with more details or walk you through the implementation—just let me know!
