To interrupt the ElevenLabs websocket streaming and start playing different text, you would need to close the current websocket connection and establish a new one with the new text. Here's a general approach:

1. Close the Current Websocket Connection: Ensure that the current websocket connection is properly closed. This can be done by calling the close() method on the websocket object. This step ensures that the current streaming session is terminated.

2. Initialize a New Websocket Connection: Create a new websocket connection and send the necessary initialization data, including the voice_settings and xi_api_key, as part of the first message.

3. Send the New Text: Start sending the new text chunks to the websocket. Ensure that each chunk ends with a space for proper processing.

4. Send an End of Sequence (EOS) Message: After sending all the new text chunks, send an empty string as the EOS message to indicate the end of the sequence.

5. Handle Responses: Ensure your code is set up to handle the responses from the new websocket connection, including intermediate and final audio chunks.

This process effectively interrupts the current stream and starts a new one with the updated text. If you encounter issues, ensure that your implementation follows the correct websocket communication structure.

but for realtime this would require a significant start up time then to resend new data. so I guess I should keep two websocket connections alive?
