I am using the German Talkie Version of Inherit the Earth with compressed audio files.
After my 0.12 ScummVM crashed at the storm sequence, I tried the unstable SVN of ScummVM. The bug is gone, but the game has a new bug.
Every time a character speaks, the animation for talking is still in use for one additional second after the speech sequence ended. Because of this a dialogue takes much more time with many pauses during talking. You can avoid the pauses by clicking "." for skipping the line of text, but this is very bothersome.
Maybe this bug has something to do with the display length of the subtitles. (also if they are deactivated)
This bug doesn't exist in the stable 0.12 Version of ScummVM, just in the SVNs.

Fixed in the latest SVN version, closing
