We've seen this too, but it is inconsistent. You might be able to work around it by adjusting MODDEF_TASK_QUEUEWAIT and/or MODDEF_TASK_QUEUELENGTH in the chatAudioIO manifest. Those are explained in the Web Worker documentation. My guess is that adjusting the TASK_QUEUELENGTH is preferred, but please share what you find.

We are considering integrating chatAudioIO into stackchan, and since this issue seems likely to occur there, we will try making some adjustments.

Extending the queueLength to 20 made it operate much more stably. Thank you.

[phoddie]

Excellent! If you want to open a PR with the change, we can merge that. If you prefer, we can make the change too. Just let me know.

[stc1988]

Should the changes be made to the chatAudioIO module or to the conversationalAI application?

[phoddie]

The worker is owned by the chatAudioIO module. The queue length impacts communication with the workers and chatAudioIO code in the main task. I think this change is needed for any project using chatAudioIO, for example the tiny chatAudioIO example app. So, my sense is to apply the change to the chatAudioIO module.

What do you think?

I agree, it’s a straightforward approach. I’ll create a PR.
