Voice messages recorded on "Vorbis ogg" format instead of "Apple m4a" format #1015

Feature Description

I've noticed both Android and iOS version of Fluffychat use Apple m4a audio format to record voice messages. This is causing the whatsapp bridge (possibly other bridges too) on Matrix unable to properly address the voice messages to the whatsapp users, who will no receive any voice message even tho we sent it on our Fluffychat side. It can be fixed if the voice messages would be using the Vorbis ogg audio format instead (as other Matrix client do) and it would also comply with the FOSS nature of the project using a royalty-free lossy audio encoding format.

Rationale

Using a royalty-free audio format instead of a proprietary one owned by Apple would better suit the FOSS nature of the Fluffychat project. It would also benefit who is using Fluffychat with a Whatsapp bridge.
