Please make sure switching voice channels correctly sets participants in old channels.

@akleshchev I don't understand. What are the test steps?

[akleshchev]

Suggestion:

1. Start voice sessions with two groups
2. At least one user should be voice-active in the first group and present in the second group without voice
3. Switch to the second one
4. Make sure previous grop deactivated correctly
   I think a group and a local chat should work for this too.
