Sadly, being a Linux nerd has its downsides, including missing out on things like this. Very few software companies actually care about Linux (because tiny market segment and/or fragmentation), and when/if they do, it's usually "second-tier" support, i.e. if it happens to work, good on you; if it doesn't, well, you're probably not really in their target market segment anyway, so you get little/no "official" support beyond the bleeding obvious "user guide" that literally everyone except total newbies and/or the mentally challenged comprehend/guess intuitively. Not that community support is bad, just that it isn't always 100% reliable, particularly with commercial software. If this (or a similar thing) ever ends up on Linux (or, even better, it already is, and I'm just unaware), it'll be proof that miracles do happen.
Also, I don't imagine creating a fully and properly rigged model for this would be particularly easy, either (if it's even/will be possible at all yet) and part of me wonders if you have to export/convert it to a format specific to the program (wouldn't surprise me, really). I suppose if one has the means/time/talent, though, it could be a source of commission revenue for furry artists.
Another thing is that ever since Microsoft decided to force PulseAudio down our throats with the latest edition of Skype for Linux, I've removed it from my system. I refuse to install some big, bloated audio "server" with features I don't need (and likely never really will need) just so I can use a piece of proprietary software whose connected service I rarely log onto/use anyway.
