Comment (by dreammaster):

 Are you sure about it being a problem in the original game? The game
 expects that the horn will always be present and visible, so in all other
 views there's not even an item for the phonograph ear, the ear is just a
 static part of the background. The Phonograph closeup is the only one
 where it's a distinct item. The logic it follows is that initially it's
 present (as titania's ear) bug non-draggable. Dragging is then allowed
 once you get the correct music playing. When you do then drag the ear,
 whether you explicitly drop it into the inventory or just release the
 mouse, it's added to the inventory, and then then a 1 second timer is set
 which, when expired, causes a "Replacement Phonograph Ear" to appear.

 I checked your savegame, and somehow it's as if your game got stuck
 without the timer expiring. The CPhonographEar has property
 '_replacementEar' that was false, indicating you had dragged Titania's ear
 into the inventory (no surprise, I could see it in the inventory), but the
 replacement ear wasn't visible. I even did a test with your savegame..
 using my debugger, I set _replacementEar back to true, and then dragged
 Titania's ear from the inventory and then back into it. It correctly set
 the _replacementEar back to false, did the one second timer, and then made
 the replacement ear visible.

 So really, the problem is that the ear isn't visible, but to identify and
 fix the problem, I need you to see if you can replicate the problem from
 scratch. i.e. from before you add Titania's ear to your inventory. I've
 tried to replicate any problem, and I couldn't. If this is something you
 only just noticed, and you got the ear sometime earlier, then maybe it's
 something that's already been fixed.
