Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Tap and hold microphone button on Android to record a short voice message and post it in the room
2. Play back the message and note where the audio starts in relation to the timeline indicator.

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?
The current position indicator should move smoothly and match with when I hear audio.

#### What happened instead?
The current position indicator seemingly updates once per second and I seem to hear audio before where it shows up in the curve.

**Here is a screenshot with a red arrow added roughly when I start hearing audio.**
