I'll actually wager a guess that someone manually triggered the samples from
a sound board for the sake of recording them. It's possible that they just
triggered phrases that aren't normally used in game-play.
Someone should patch MAME to log all write to the sound-board I/O port
latches and play a few complete games of startrek and run through all the
self-test. See what phrases writes get logged.
