Incorrect behaviour

In some games, there are silent audio samples or music.
Sesame Street Numbers - Clicking elmo results in silent audio.
Shipwreck - Starting the game results in a silent storm
Angel Le Demon - No music plays during exploration
Super Stories: Mom is Going to Stop It - The ice cream cone quiz plays silent sound effects when choosing the True/False answer.

Expected behaviour

Sound effects which are currently silent would be audible.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start Sesame Street Numbers
2. Click Elmo
3. Notice that his mouth moves, but you can't hear anything.

Additional details

Notice that the L/R audio attenuation can only change which speaker audio is playing in, and can only make it quieter, not louder. Therefore this has a different underlying cause than #12852.

[Vincent-Halver]

This is fixed by undoing #12988 , however this will also cause Hotel Mario to have audio glitches (and possibly freeze).

Readers can patch themselves by undoing the linked change. I suspect that more players prefer to play Hotel Mario, so the right course of action would be to leave these 5+ games missing their audio_map sounds until a fix for Hotel Mario is found.

Edit:
Additional games impacted
3rd Degree (Credits is silent)
Vliegende Hollander, De (Netherlands) (Some of the tour is silent)
Schtroumpfs, Les - Le Teleportaschtroumpf (Some of the minigame audio is silent)
Allerheiligen Schaffhausen - Vom Kloster zum Museum (Switzerland)

Out of sheer numbers, 7 games broken over 1 half working means the original patch is wrong and needs reverting.
