LiveAvatar Speaking Delay in CUSTOM Mode

Hi

We’ve noticed an issue in our CUSTOM mode LiveKit setup: the LiveAvatar starts speaking 2–3 seconds after the transcript appears. Specifically, the agent.speak_started event does not align well with AgentState = "speaking" in LiveKit , the state changes 2–3 seconds before the avatar actually starts speaking.

We are running the system in Pakistan. Could this be related to regional latency, or is there a possible synchronization issue in the LiveKit plugin?

Thanks for any guidance.
