Comment (by antoniou79):

 From some debugging, I think I have figured which audio clip it is
 supposed to play, but not why it does not.

 It seems it's a audio clip of type "3", scriptName "aSound55" and filename
 "au000049.wav".
 It's supposed to play with default priority (50), non-looping -- it's
 called to play explicitly at each clock's "second".

 The functions that are involved in the setup of playing this clip seem to
 return normal values, ie. non nullptr.

 Also might be of help(?) The game's "Data version" is detected as 49 <
 kGameVersion_360.

 Here's the entire output on the background console:

 The "WARNING: channel 2 - same clip assigned" happens before I click on
 "New Game" so it seems unrelated to the issue.
