How to send text input from user in realtime api? Docs aren't clear

I am completely confused. How does one send text to the realtime API. I understand how to using the raw Openai Realtime api, but can't get it working via livekit.

Good point - looking at the code I think text-only is not supported? But this would be perfect for testing as the audio is very costly! Any input from the maintainers?

we don't currently support text-only mode. however, it isn't necessary to use our OpenAI plugin in order to use the Realtime API within Agents — you can simply use Agents to orchestrate the jobs and then call OpenAI's API directly via the Realtime SDK.
