Thanks for writing in. We don't have immediate plans to add such a built-in feature, but let me share a few things.



Using voice pipeline could be a quicker solution for your use case. This means your app can control when to pass audio input chunks to the voice pipeline and the voice pipeline can return any audio response based on the agent run results. Also, your code can detect the duration of silence during a convo, so it's also possible to play some music instead.

See https://openai.github.io/openai-agents-python/voice/quickstart/#run-the-pipeline and other documents and examples for more details.



If you're considering Realtime API w/ WebSocket connections, it's feasible to control the timings of sending input audio from a user, but it could be a challenge if playing music etc. for long silence is must-have for your requirements.



I understand, even with the above information, you need to explore solutions on your end but hope this was helpful to you.
