BS1: Speech doesnt play for some items near end game

Description
Near the end of the game once on the train, a lot of the speech no longer plays (neither do the captions) and I get the following error printed in the console:
WARNING: Sound::uncompressSpeech(): DATA tag not found in wave header!
I am using ScummVM 0.71 precompiled binaries for windows XP, English Talkie version of Broken Sword 1. Additionally it crashes in two places reproducibly - when I talk to the old woman in the train car and ask her about the castle, the 2nd or 3rd time it exits with no error message anywhere. Then in the castle at the end game, if I try to stick the pipe in the gargoyles mouth, Nico turns to talk to me and then the program craps out as well with no error I can find.
I've attached a save game near the start of the train sequence.
Is it possible my speech files are just corrupt? Do you know the correct MD5/SHA1/CRC for them?
Thanks!

It certainly sounds like a problem with your data files. Probably the speech.clu file from the second CD, or possibly train.clu.
I only have compressed versions of the speech and music on this computer (I'm not at home where my original CDs are) so I can't tell you the checksum for them. And anyway, I'm told there are a few different versions.
I'd suggest you try re-copying the data files from the CD. It's almost certainly faster than waiting for me to get back home and check mine. Of course, someone else may be quicker in producing them.

If that doesn't help, please tell us the MD5 of the files, and we can check if they match any of the known versions.

Here are the MD5's I get on the speech files, and the file sizes:
2a36888b6b45cbb945dd45b1aecf02a3 *speech1.clu 3aabd273e4f4129b847ba65b0b07cb79 *speech2.clu 348,216,568 speech1.clu 339,493,006 speech2.clu
It is extremely unlikely the file was damaged after copying to
the hard drive. It is of course possible the files on the source
CD itself are damaged (ie scratched etc). Anyways, please
let me know if these file sizes and MD5 seem correct, and if
so, what else could cause the described problem. Is there a
way to disable speech and just watch the text captions?
That might be a good thing to try if its possible to give more
insight into the problem..

You'd be surprised at how many bug reports that have been resolved by re-copying the data files from the CD. I don't understand how this happens, but it does. :-)
I've played through the game from boarding the train to the end, talking to every character about everything I could and examining everything I could think of. I didn't encounter any missing speech or crashes.
I have the English "Sold-Out Software" release, and the MD5 sums of my data files are:
7072952037a5e240c868d441ca4a6da9 compacts.clu 1990da4bf81a6402884bd72c5fe7a3b2 general.clu 62337167c67fada0d0689e0e45584ac5 ireland.clu 4640fc95cc73ea2956a516f25aecd107 maps.clu 6c85a3dc5c3f7b4a3e11ac22cb183cc2 paris1.clu db1dab88dfed88091e20aa38e968426d paris2.clu 205db4a3a86262fa93ce13cc785be0a6 paris3.clu bfe0e1020272e9ce639981de909826c1 paris4.clu 9a78e8fc591a4f482bffca7083653361 scotland.clu 9a8aa5e562672f9d7a4fbc430d6d3576 scripts.clu e053954d122ecbce89a58030fbcd1e40 spain.clu 2a36888b6b45cbb945dd45b1aecf02a3 speech1.clu 75ad0248c9a0a5aa65c471f459a58c71 speech2.clu 003f4dc09692592d3a8347bc84ded39f swordres.rif 2595fd92d91bbaa604a820b9bf6d20ad syria.clu 4edc865fa00933c7d7c9cf761ee3efb1 text.clu d3df148f058f4280e6166c8649aa5a1c train.clu
(I forgot to write down the file sizes. As I said, I don't have the uncompressed speech files on this computer.)
So it looks like we have the same speech1.clu, but not speech2.clu.

What response are you waiting for? I posted the MD5 and sizes of my speech files long ago. The speech1 matches Erik's while the speech2 does not. Since you said there are multiple version this does not mean it is necessarily bad though. Anyways even if we determined it was corrupted, how could I 'fix' it anyways?

Waiting for you to re-check the files on your CD, in case they did get damaged after / while being copied to your HD.
It's unlikely that a different version of BS1 has identical MD5 for the first speech file but not for the second. This together with the nature of the error message you were reporting strongly indicates that your speech2.clu file has indeed been corrupted somehow. If that is the case, there is nothing we can do about it, I am afraid.

The original source file is the same, so I guess it is corrupted, and I guess I'm just screwed until I find another copy of the CD. Thanks anyways, at least its not a bug for you.
