There was a digital speech pack for the original release of WCII, but that
doesn't imply SB16 support.

I want to tack on to my thoughts - didn't WCIV, and not WCIII, advertise
having 16 bit audio during the cinematic sequences for users with SB16
sound cards?  I recall seeing that on Origin's web page but any trace of
Wing Commander is long gone from their site.
Restrict discussion to DOS versions.
