sylph-decoder de2fe4a110 re: the voice-region third chunk is a different structure from the BGM one
The port hit a 2+1 chunk signature on a resolved movie-voice region and asked
whether the bank-header explanation that closed HANDOFF Q10 also covers it,
rather than assuming it. It does not, and the discriminator is mechanical.

Disc-wide over the 95 English movie-voice regions the manifest binds:

  78 open with a bank header -- bank_header_len fires, 10240 B = 5 packets
     exactly, every time. That is the BGM case.
  17 open with a leading headerless stream -- bank_header_len is None, and all
     17 have length congruent to 1392 mod 2048, the disc s own derived data
     offset. No other residue occurs.
   0 begin at a RIFF.

Counting chunks does not discriminate: 8 bank-header regions also yield three
chunks. slb.rs already predicted this in its own doc comment -- the header
signature has "zero false positives on the 7993 mid-bank windows, where the
leading region IS real" -- and a voice region is a mid-bank window by
construction.

Also tested the obvious defence of dropping the leading chunk, that it is the
predecessor cue s audio: 0 of 17 leading spans lie inside any other resolved
region, 0.0 percent on every one. The test finds overlaps where they exist (16
overlapping pairs among the regions, 60 exactly-adjacent boundaries, 73 of 78
bank-header regions starting where another ends), so the zero is not the
instrument.

Left open, with reach: the census covers movie-voice regions only, and the same
stream carries the in-mission VOICE_D_* cues, which are not enumerated -- the
leading bytes plausibly belong to one of those. Could not be settled by
listening: no XMA1 decoder in this container, and sylpheed-cli audio info
reports these chunks as 16 channels / 4310 Hz / 2-bit, which is visibly wrong.
