Audio message edit functionality sends a new message instead of editing the existing one

[smritidoneria]

Description:

When a user sends a audio message in the chat and clicks on the "Edit" option, they can record another video. However, instead of editing the existing message, the application sends a new message with the newly recorded audio.

Steps to reproduce:

1.Send a audio message in the chat.
2. Click on the "Edit" option for the audio message.
3.Record another audio and confirm the edit.
4. Observe that instead of editing the existing message, a new message is sent with the updated audio.

Expected behavior:

The existing audio message should be updated with the newly recorded audio when edited.

Actual behavior:

A new message is sent with the updated audio instead of editing the existing one.

Hey @smritidoneria, I think currently there is no point of raising this issue because this behaviour is there in rocketchat as well, may be they have not fixed yet. I also faced similar situations in my pr of recursive quoting #641, in that also when you quote a quoted uploaded attachment(audio, video or file), it won't show the preview in the message. This is also an issue in the main rocketchat as well.

@Spiral-Memory what are your thoughts on this?

[Spiral-Memory]

The issue is good as well as useful..
Usually other chat apps don't allow it including Rocket.Chat

We might need to see why they don't usually implement this.

Maybe we do not let the user to edit the video and audio messages.
