[sldev] VWR-10311 Enabling lip sync by default

[Ron Blechner]

Yes please!

A few potential uses I'd foresee:

- The obvious - using it for non-human AVs, as a few of us have suggested.
- An attachment that detects if someone's talking, and IMs the owner
to alert them to the fact. I know sometimes I don't realize that
people are on voice when I have it turned off (for whatever reason.)
- Automated checks to make sure voice is on. If I'm an event host, for
example, I could run a script that scans to make sure everyone has
voice turned on, and alerts me who isn't - and I can ask them to talk,
etc.
- Integrating talking into games / environment. I'd love to say, have
animals that get startled when they hear your noise. Or, imagine
options sort of like Nintendo's DS - where a game might have you blow
into it to trigger an event.
