New description:

 This bug was originally for the broken resource loading in 2.8.0.  Since
 that is now fixed in 2.8.1, I confirmed that MacBinarized files seem to
 work on OS X and Linux.

 However, it appears that Macintosh sound is only available on OS X, as I
 can not get it to engage on Linux.  By comparison, LucasArts SCUMM games
 for Macintosh do seem to produce Macintosh music on Linux.

 I am not sure if this is a problem loading the proper SCI 'sound driver'
 file on Linux, or if it is a problem making Macintosh sound available in
 SCUMMVM SCI engine on Linux.  The usual result is either no sound or
 MIDI/MT-32 sound on Macintosh game played on Linux.  I haven't tested, but
 believe it is the same on Windows.
