Button to record audio snippets and send them as audio events (voice messages)

[aviraldg]

Button, which when pushed records audio and sends it as m.audio that automatically plays.

• needs support for inline audio recording and file attachment
• sent audio should auto play
• but users on the "other side" should have an option to disable auto play
• custom typing indicator for recording audio?

I'm interested in exactly this, for a little side project for my daughter... in this case I'm looking to run as a Matrix client on a headless device (a CHIP, RPI, etc) to act as a kids "walkie talkie". We have two CHIPs arriving in the next week!

I may be able to help on this if I can carve out some time...

@aviraldg did anything ever land for this?

I fear this got stuck in matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#310

[spacekitteh]

close this?

edit: Oh, @aviraldg hasn't merged it into master I think?

[aviraldg]

@spacekitteh There was no consensus on the formats to be supported, so it's still unmerged. I currently do not have the time to create a proposal for it, but I believe the core team would welcome one if it was created and then it could be merged.
