[sldev] VWR-10311 Enabling lip sync by default

[Moriz Gupte]

A few points to note here (1) the argument about fidelity is misplaced given
the cartoonish fidelity of SL anyways (2) background noise often trigger the
lips movements, of course, no surprise here...but mess up testing and gives
wrong impression of cross talk triggered lip animations (3) I have seen with
my own eyes that when I speak my lips move and the person infront of me not
moving, even in a crowd situation. all parties involved are in full duplex
mode (3) using push to talk kills any background sound and lips stay
stuck...not moving.
Hence, lip sync does INDEED DO what it is supposed to do. Lipsync is a great
in mediating turn taking in our setting...and newbies don't like the green
indicator that much even though they get used to it. I understand that there
is a furry market that will be hit but I think this fear is misplaced.
