New description:

 - ScummVM 2.6.0git6340-g974c51b4cd1 (Jun 5 2022 09:42:22)
 - Game language: English
 - Game version: Hi-Res 1.000.000
 - Windows 11 21H2 10.0.22000.675

 Steps to reproduce (not 100% sure yet):
 - Leave a room which causes a 5 second volume fade-out of the previous
 room's background music before starting the new room's music (for example,
 when entering the hotel interior from the pool).
 - Save the game while the fade is in progress.
 - Restore this game.
 - Notice that there's a chance of the previous room's music now being
 stuck at the volume at the time of saving.

 In DOSBox, the behavior is different: The fade-out of the previous room's
 music "restarts" at full volume and full 5 second duration, and then
 properly starts the current room's music.

 I cannot reproduce this every time yet. It may be required to quickly move
 "one room further" before the fade-out ends (e.g. in the above example, to
 a 2nd hotel interior) and then quickly save the game. I attached a save
 game where this happened exactly like that.
 I remember this happening quite often when I tested the previous music
 channel bug on fresh games. I'll update the ticket once I found an easier
 / safer way to reproduce it.

 Note about moving one room further possibly needed
