So, something kinda broke here.
Selecting a difficulty setting causes a second voice line to be heard right before the one that's supposed to play - for instance, selecting "Who Wants Some Wang" causes the "Haha, you no mess with Lo Wang" voice line to start playing right before "Who wanta some Wang?", so they end up overlapping.

Re: [0.4.5] [SW] Broken Difficulty Speech
This seems to be an engine-wide bug, not just Shadow Warrior. Opening up the menu in Blood, while in the E1L1 demo loop, pauses the "I live again" sound, while the demo continues to play with silent audio in the background. When you close the menu, the "I live again" sound will continue playing from wherever you last played the menu.
Starting a new game in Blood also does not pause the sounds started from the demo loop. You will hear a continuous sound (for example, the moving wall hiding the TNT secret in the first room of E1L1) while the cutscene plays its own sound, they'll overlap.
There are other weird behaviours with regards to sound and pausing but I didn't have time to investigate all of it.

Re: [0.4.5] [SW] Broken Difficulty Speech
Huh, that's interesting. Just noticed the other issues as well.
The part with starting a new game is something I have first spotted here, but apparently it goes deeper than that - viewtopic.php?f=340&t=67517 . Curious that Duke managed to escape (or maybe not? If the demo loop still worked it would've probably exhibited the same behavior).

Re: [0.4.5] [SW] Broken Difficulty Speech
The menu pauses the sound - the demo loop runs behind the menu - pretty obvious what happens here. I have switched off the demo loop in Blood because I find it very annoying when the engine suddenly starts some gameplay with all the noise involved.

I hope I got it all. It's a bit tricky with this code that has so many different ways to do the same thing.
