As usual, jumping to conclusions.

All it is is a quick recording taken from your mic sent to the other person, it's not stored, not reusable, there's no such thing as packs, etc.

Which makes it totally different to Custom Emotion Sounds, therefore is not a 'stolen' feature.
Custom Emotions Sounds are, by their very nature, shared and reusable. Voice Clips, by their very nature, and one-use-only.
In fact, compare the names: Custom Emotion Sounds - Voice Clips. To me, they're two totally different features.

Because it needs to be accepted, connection problems may prevent a connection, it's far easier to just record a few seconds of sound when necessary...
Voice Clips - clips of your voice.
Audio Conversation - conversation using sound.
Again, two different features for two different reasons.

Now I should have shown that Voice Clips neither steals from Patchou, nor is useless because of audio conversations. Anyone who wants to try and prove otherwise, go ahead.

If I was Patchou I'd be fine with Voice Clips.
