Feature: Offer four original dubs #1021

One of the few things the console versions still hold over TR1X, and since we've talked about it a couple of times over the past 2 years but have no issue yet, I thought I'd create one.

Released were:

^ Where the PS1 discs will be the best quality sources, as they contain all speech as 44.1khz audio tracks. I could probably make them available. The audio streams inside the FMV containers similarly have the best quality on the PS1 releases.

I had discovered some curiosities with the GYM level, where the Japanese dub goes into quite some detail by addressing the specific controller symbols on the PS1 and Saturn controllers respectively. This could be a rather niche but thus nice touch to include perhaps. Similarly, the PC versions address some keys differently, albeit audio quality from the different GYM.PHDs is too low (11.205khz). For those interested, I'd posted samples and more details here: https://discord.com/channels/1071085441077481544/1075372522377322516/1157653786999930991

Great to see an issue for this. I thought it might be worth adding a couple of relevant/useful links.

Actually this can probably be split between 3 différents subjects / features:
