Comment (by sluicebox):

 The best outcome would be to always show text for these messages and not
 play audio, which from what I know of the narrator/talker classes that
 would be hard, but it would benefit other games too.

 Suppressing the incorrect audio36 resources from loading would be the easy
 part but as you saw the narrator/talker/whatever doesn't care if there's
 no audio, it just plays dead air. The only thing that determines if the
 text appears is the mode (Voice/Text/Dual) and it's like that in all the
 talkies.

 The harder part would be to inject generic functionality so that the game
 did fallback on displaying text if there's no audio, no matter what mode
 it's in. That would be useful for other games too. KQ6CD is missing audio
 for three messages (#9610) with the same dead air problem in voice mode.
 There's probably others.
