Use Opus for voice messages instead of WAV

(#1268) Feature Open: Under consideration media voice
by RexSystem edited originally by @ztx-lyghters on GitHub

Problem

Uncompressed Wave files take too much space and are way too excessive for voice messages, which can quickly accumulate on the server and waste space which could be utilized for something else.

Proposal

Opus codec with ~64kbps bitrate would be ideal for this task. An ability to configure the bitrate could be useful too, in the admin panel.

Even if not Opus in case lossy codecs are a concern, at least using FLAC would be a substantial improvement in size reduction.

We can use ogg instead, same audio quality and compressed. Discord actually uses it as a voice message format
