Google Speech API v2 with sockets

Does Google Speech API v2 support streaming audio over websockets? I found a way to send a POST request with audio. However, it would be great if I could write audio and send it over the socket in real time.

Note. I am using Firefox browser. I know Google Chrome supports voice recognition out of the box, however I'm interested in Firefox and other browsers.

The V2 API does not currently support websockets. The streaming API uses gRPC, which requires 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
