Bug Description

Even though the phone can play sounds with other apps, telegram seems unable to play voice messages. I can't rely on the phone for communications because of this (when people is driving they usually send voice messages instead of writing). Can we please add this feature?

The messaging app recently added support for voice and video attachments in MMS as a possible example for this.

I just checked and what worries me is that telegram marks the message as "read" (well, "played") so people sending you this kind of message thinks you're actually aware of that information. I don't know if that can be controlled in the client, but while it doesn't work it might be useful not to send ack on those messages.
