Could you build this?
Partial Implementing a full WebRTC media pipeline and low-latency audio streaming framework in Go requires deep knowledge of real-time audio networking and concurrent pipelines.
What it would actually take: The core involves porting the Pipecat framework to Go using Pion WebRTC, integrating voice activity detection (Silero VAD), streaming STT (Deepgram/Whisper), LLM streaming, and TTS (Cartesia/ElevenLabs). The difficult part is building backpressure management, low-jitter audio frame buffering, interruption handling, and concurrency orchestration across asynchronous WebRTC audio tracks.
