Had a nice chuckle.
webrtc is a bad protocol, without a doubt. I do like websockets as an easy alternative, but you do need to reinvent decent portions of webrtc as a result
I like the idea of MoQ but it's not widely used. probably worth experimenting with, especially as video enters the chat

OpenAI is speech-to-speech, there is no TTS in voice mode

signalling can be done long ahead of time, though I don't see this mentioned in the OpenAI blog. I also saw some new webrtc extensions that should reduce setup time further
ultimately though, it comes down to

I expect to see a shift in how S2S models work to be lower latency like the new voice API models that OpenAI announced
to be fair, the new models were released the day after this MoQ blog was published
Which results in the interesting situation where the transcript isn't what was said:
Q: Why do the voice transcripts sometimes not match the conversation I had?
A: Voice conversations are inherently multimodal, allowing for direct audio exchange between you and the model. As a result, when this audio is transcribed, the transcription might not always align perfectly with the original conversation.
cldouflare doesn't support WebTransport well.
