### What This Skill Does

This skill implements real-time audio streaming for advanced Retell AI integrations. It covers WebSocket connection management with automatic reconnection, audio buffer management for smooth playback, latency optimization techniques, handling network jitter and packet loss, and debugging streaming issues.

### Technical Success Criteria

- WebSocket connection stable with auto-reconnect
- Audio buffering optimized for minimal delay
- Latency measured and within targets
- Jitter buffer handling network variations
- Streaming issues debuggable with logging

### Business Success Criteria

- Ultra-low latency voice experience
- Natural conversation flow without delays
- <300ms end-to-end latency for voice responses
