Isn’t the point that OpenAI’s use case does not require realtime?

When OpenAI responds, it has most of the audio in advance of when the user needs to hear it. It produces audio faster than real time, so a real time protocol is a bad fit.

That is not the case. See get-realtime-translate[0 that's doing it as a trickle instead (not turn based).
