Voice messaging with OPUS codec for the app?

[RasaKh]

Hi there. Thanks for this awesome project.

I was wondering if you could maybe add voice messaging to app and especially sinces codecs like OPUS have options for very low bandwidths (minimum 8kbps) and options to optimize for voip, and along with a PTT for the headphone button, it would be a very useful feature.

I have actually been experimenting with a PTT interface, but using Android's speech recognition, then transmitting the text, then playing the voice on the other end (again, with Android's text-to-speech). This will be for the Ripple Tactical app, btw.
