The underlying issue was related to the fact that we were sending audio to Grok before we had configured the Grok session with our default input sample rate (16000), so Grok was interpreting those initial audio chunks as having its default sample rate (24000). We didn't see this issue when using the Daily transport simply because in our test environments Daily took a smidge longer than a reflexive (localhost) pure WebRTC connection, so we would only send audio to Grok *after* we had configured the Grok session with the desired sample rate.
