Comment (by m-kiewitz):

 When resource.aud is missing, that's literally a corrupt game. And thus
 the popup is absolutely correct. The speech can't work. I have no clue why
 Sierra would do such a thing. Maybe they didn't mean to put the whole game
 on that CD.

 and the warnings appear when resources are accessed that aren't available.
 The warnings exist for a reason. Some games contain bugs and access
 resources that just aren't there, and it's normal, but it's still a bug in
 the game.

 Removing the warnings wouldn't be good, because then we wouldn't see that
 there are problems with the scripts.
