Hello colleagues!  
I tried [wrapping the WebSocket with Kotlin Channels and Flow](https://bitbucket.org/tim4dev/workspace/snippets/jLGAzd).  
Perhaps you could do it more elegantly.  
I look forward to your comments.

Consider wrapping your `OkHttpClient` with [Ktor Client](https://ktor.io/docs/http-client-engines.html?_ga=2.105123969.381728508.1602371153-699513710.1593771485&_gac=1.116374772.1599074912.Cj0KCQjwhb36BRCfARIsAKcXh6F-DoeOYHHpgzOSVDE8Ej4nVkGq95zIR2zANGvedDlfIrM17KLlNEMaAjd2EALw_wcB#okhttp) and use the WebSocket [feature](https://ktor.io/docs/clients-websockets.html)!
