Google Speech API v2 with Sockets

Does Google speech API v2 support audio streaming via web sockets? I found a way to send POST request with audio. However, it would be great if I can write audio and send it via socket in real time.

Note: I use Firefox browser. I know that Google Chrome supports voice recognition from the box, however I'm interested in Firefox and other browsers.

V2 of the API currently does not support web sockets. The streaming API uses gRPC which would need a translation layer to work with websockets.

IBM Bluemix does support websockets, check out this sample project to see it in use: https://github.com/triceam/IBMWatson-QA-Speech/blob/master/config/socket.js
