[IDEA] Allow SpeakerToy channel to be set to Voice Chat instead of Sound Effects #341

Goal Description

SpeakerToys currently always fall under the "Sound Effects" setting for clients when handling volume.
This can cause discrepancies when using SpeakerToys for player communications, as many players separately adjust their voice chat and effects settings (see below).

Notes

Personally, some months ago (when 106 was causing players to disconnect with conventional SCP prox chat plugins), I completely revamped my server's SCP prox chat system to use SpeakerToys. Since then, I have also used SpeakerToys relating to other voice chat features.
I have received notes and complaints from different users about how these systems are attached to the effects volume rather than voice chat volume, and that makes it difficult for different players because many (including myself) turn down the effects volume in order to better hear others.
I currently have just resorted to turning up the volume on these implements, but I would like to see this change made so players can have a better experience.
