I agree that Lip Sync be moved out of Beta. It does a fairly decent job when voice actually works. Unfortunately residents are suffering many voice issues now (http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-12487) and these are no longer triaged as they appear to be third party issues. I have not had much luck in getting answers from Vivox on the issues currently plaguing SL residents. I am led to believe that the issue is arising out of a conflict with the new SDK which was introduced in RC9 of the current release running alongside the old SDK which many residents are still running since there is no mandatory update to the viewer at this time.
Currently, if you want stable voice, you can run the old client and suffer through many of the bugs that are fixed in the current version, or you can run the new client and go back to using Skype and a stream for inworld conferences. Being that Vivox has not been responsive to inquiries, I am curious as to whether there has been some deterioration in the relationship between Linden Lab and Vivox.

There's enough information to display green waves of appropriate intensity above each speaking avatar. That same information can't be used to control which avatars move their mouths?
