Sim voicing off silences voicing in the preferences dialog #887

I'm not sure if this is by design, but it seems buggy to me. I'd like to discuss with @jessegreenberg about this and try to fix it if it is indeed a bug.

To reproduce:

  1. turn voicing on
  2. turn sim voicing off in the toolbar
  3. go to the preferences dialog and toggle audio features or voicing, I hear nothing.

@jessegreenberg mentioned that ideally the voicing panel section would not be categorized as "sim", but at some point we cut a corner and preferences are considered sim voicing. So this is expected behavior.
