Comment (by sluicebox):

 Thank you for reporting this and describing it so well.

 I can reproduce this with our latest code and it looks like it occurs in
 all QFG4 versions. To reproduce: go to room 280, set global 342 to 0 or 4,
 and try to open the door on the right. global 342 controls which bell
 sequence is played.

 The relevant scripts are sFlashRopeScr and sRingsBell which cumulatively
 delay for 40 ticks and several game cycles (at least 6) when playing a
 bell. The bell sound is longer than that though, I think almost 2 seconds,
 and playing the same sound while it's already playing doesn't restart it.
 For example, set global 342 to 4 for a puzzle where the purple bell plays
 four times in a row. The second and third play don't interrupt/restart the
 first, but the fourth works because the first is now finished playing. The
 relevant sounds are sound resources 1-8.

 It looks like either we're doing something different with regard to
 restarting sounds, or maybe the timing is different in ScummVM and the
 sounds are completing in the original before the next one is played.
