  related: Request for streaming audio output component  #1775

Is there a way to stream audio from a remote source such as when using Amazon Polly or Eleven Labs?

There are currently ways to download a full audio file and play it via gr.Audio or an HTML embed, but in streaming demos/applications (real time translation, chatbots) it would be useful to be able to play sound from a streaming remote server rather than waiting to download the whole file.

Thanks for your question @arjunbansal. Yes, this should be possible. It kind of depends on your streaming setup, but you could write a generator function and keep yield-ing the output audio file to an Audio output component. See iterative outputs: https://gradio.app/key-features/#iterative-outputs

By the way, for general questions like this (that are not feature requests or bug reports), please ask in GitHub Discussions or our Discord. (I'll close this issue)

Thanks, I have some follow up questions which I will continue here.

@arjunbansal did you find solution? yield-ing fil names with sleep hangs the UI during sleep @abidlabs maybe you can help
