Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Start a call between Element (Android|iOS) and Element Desktop
- Wait for connection (which don't happen)
version: this occurs since at least a year and several updates so I guess it's not version-related
It's a musl system. Do Void build Electron differently on musl?
(By the way, Void should have a Matrix room.)

Research direction
Begin by reproducing the Element Desktop call failure on a musl-based Void system, then determine whether Void's Electron build differs on musl. Done means a call between Element on Android or iOS and Element Desktop connects successfully; no source files or tests are named in the issue.
