DESCRIPTION:
    This sample demonstrates the fundamental capabilities of the VoiceLive SDK by creating
    a basic voice assistant that can engage in natural conversation with proper interruption
    handling. This serves as the foundational example that showcases the core value 
    proposition of unified speech-to-speech interaction.

USAGE:
    python basic_voice_assistant_async.py
    
    Set the environment variables with your own values before running the sample:
    1) AZURE_VOICELIVE_API_KEY - The Azure VoiceLive API key
    2) AZURE_VOICELIVE_ENDPOINT - The Azure VoiceLive endpoint
    
    Or copy .env.template to .env and fill in your values.

REQUIREMENTS:
    - azure-ai-voicelive
    - python-dotenv
    - pyaudio (for audio capture and playback)
