Is it possible to use non-Neural voices? #115

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to use the old style voices using edge-tts, for example Microsoft George.

They don't seem to appear in --list-voices but they appear in the Edge read aloud feature so I was wondering if there is something in the code that only lists cloud voices. Is it integral to the implementation of the library that it can ONLY detect the cloud-based voices? If so is there a work around to access the non-cloud based voices?

Thanks

Oh yes, seeing as how the library works on Linux and the library description literally says "Microsoft Edge's online text-to-speech service", I guess it can only use the online "Neural" voices. Sorry about the non-issue.
