New description:

 My environment
 * ScummVM on macOS
 * Game is the PC version from GOG


 Expected behaviour
 ----------------
 * Game identified correctly when adding to list
 * Full Speech an MT32 music

 Actual behaviour
 ----------------
 * gae not recognised. 'pick the game' menu appears. The Adventures of
 Willy Beamish (DOS/English) appears but so does a list of games that it is
 definetly not
 * when running the game there is MT32 music but no speech

 What I have tried
 ----------------
 * Manually selecting The Adventures of Willy Beamish (DOS/English) from
 the pick list
 * confirmed that sound effects and music work as expected with a different
 game (Beneath a steel sky)
