This is not a bug.  When you have less than the optimal amount of memory
available (5 megs or so), Descent uses a LoMem mode that remaps &
removes many sounds from the game.  This saves tons of memory and avoids
needless disk thrashing with virtual memory.  You can force it to load
all the sounds by using the -nomemcheck command line option (or maybe
it's -nolomem, I can't remember).
