#16563: DIRECTOR: The Dark Eye - Music issue on main menu screen
-----------------------+-------------------------------------
Reporter:  antoniou79  |      Owner:  (none)
    Type:  defect      |     Status:  new
Priority:  normal      |  Component:  Engine: Director
 Version:              |   Keywords:  Dark Eye, Search, Theme
    Game:              |
-----------------------+-------------------------------------
 Tested with ScummVM 2026.1.0 and also recent build from master HEAD
 (2026.1.1git) on Windows 10.

 Launching the game, the music on the main menu (MnTitle.aif in subfolder
 DKYDATA/NT/NA/) plays without issues.

 But if you load or start a new a game, play for a bit (about a minute or
 so), and then return to the main menu, ScummVM won't play the music
 anymore and the console keeps outputting these warnings:
 {{{
 WARNING: Failed to open MnTitle.aif!
 WARNING: stream is 0!
 }}}

 I didn't have time to properly debug this yet.

 From a quick debug session though, it seems that, the first time, ScummVM
 is looking for the file in the correct place (after a few attempts, that
 are part of the "search for resources" code), but for the subsequent
 times, when it errors out, it does not look at the right place anymore.

 At least part of the code used for resolving the path to the requested
 file is in engine/director/util.cpp  (findPath(), resolvePath() and so
 on), so I'm looking into those first.
