We also had to edit the "Creaks" sounds similarly, since two of the four were too long. The "bell" sound in our old crash dive was the sound that got "stuck" in the que, and is what made the "ding" we would hear sound once every second. Strange stuff... We have since changed more of our sound files for quite a few bits, and are more closely in accordance with the "when in doubt, do it like Stock" missive from CapnScurvy... lol
In its current form it is 36 seconds long

Ahhh... that would be quite a bit of editing then... lol - The "creak" sounds (four files, "Creaks_LevelX.wav" with the "X" a number) were the actual culprits in FotRSU. Those caused the game to grab that last little bit of the too-long Crash_Dive audio. Those should also be under 15 seconds in length, such as 14.99 seconds or lower. I looked for my notes last night from when we went through the sound files several years ago, and cannot find them... But some sounds have to be less that 5 seconds (FX4??), others are 15 seconds, and the ambient sounds can be rather long. You also should match the sample rate (such as 22.05 or 44.1 kHz), mono or stereo, and the bit-depth (16 bits or lower) of Stock.

Is there a fix for the audio repeating yet after slowing down the time compression using the minus on the sim? I understand that using backspace is a manual workaround, but I use multiple mods and it's certainly hard for me to remember not to use the minus in the game. Anybody know what the cause of that bug is?

this is a SWAG on my part, having designed systems for thirty years, but not this one.

the game was designed with certain output queues, like sound.
so, events occur during the play and sound files queue up to be played but because the player accelerated TC sound will not play again until TC retreats to whatever the sound threshold TC is.
so, you surface, give a course change, give a speed order, and then accelerate TC to 1024 in quick succession. not all of the sound files generated from your orders will have had sufficient time to play out, so they remain in the queue. when you drop out of warp-TC, the queue is then played out.
at least that is how i think it works.

it's not necessarily a bug...just an unintended feature.
