Half-Life Opposing Force nullified sound/misc/talk.wav

The file is there but it is corrupt or blank. Copied from Valve directory and it works again.

Hello @djearthquake, have you verified the integrity of the game's files? Steam gives me a 1192 byte talk.wav in [...]/Half-Life/gearbox/sound/misc which lines up with what's in depot 51.

I grabbed the sha256sum but discarded it. This has been on-going for a decade or so with files via Steam platform verified umpteen times. The bad file is 1.2kb and the good one is 1.4. Bad one shows 1999 and good one does not. Bad one
