# Talk pipeline

`pipeline.yaml` is runnable with a simulated audio chunk so the framework can
be tested before the cmvr-es microphone stream proto is available.

When the bidirectional audio RPC lands, replace the synthetic source with the
typed `cmvr.grpc.microphone_audio_stream@1` connector and expand the chain to:

```text
AudioChunk -> VAD -> ASR -> dialogue -> TTS -> speaker stream
```

The internal `AudioChunk/v1` contract and port/QoS model are already independent
of the final protobuf message names.
