Not currently no, the SLVoice is a seperate process and is not subject
to the socks wrappers within the viewer. Although i see no reason why
you could not" socksified" that executable with a socks wrapper
program for the time being. I think this deservesis worth a jira
feature request, as SG 1.4 supports socks and SG2.0 will once i pull
my finger out, SLVoice also supporting it is a valid requirment

Give me the SLVoice code and i will do it.
