[sldev] VWR-10311 Enabling lip sync by default

[Tateru Nino]

Perhaps the basic direction that this seems to be going in is that the 
preferences system needs a hard look at. Many applications have an order 
of magnitude more options than the SL viewer -- but their preferences UI 
and the organization of preferences and categories of preferences (and 
sometimes multiple levels of preferences) makes that all navigable.

Does the whole prefs UI need revision - if the existing system isn't coping?
