The technology exists to make lip sync good enough for lipreading, but 
until Vivox opens the source for SLVoice, giving access to the audio 
stream, this "bad kung fu movie dubbing" is all that is possible.  Also, 
lipreading-quality lip sync would require real CPU cycles.  It would, 
hovever, be possible to make it more realistic with very little CPU 
resource.
