Thanks for that, Vigo. Very strange to hear that cue there (not to mention the German dialogue). Okay, so that shows it's not the same as the mono mix (even besides the obvious dialogue difference).
Cool, apparently, we Germans got our own Sound mix, where the mono mix has been used as a base. Interesting would be if there exist other foreign language mixes with further changes.
Now, thanks to belbucus, we know Burtt continued to change the mix when preparing the foreign releases. The mono was the last to be made, so it would stand to reason that he would use that as the basis for further changes.
It would be very interesting to gather further information about this, and what the reason is why we got additional music in our sound mix and why it wasn´t included in later english sound mixes.
However, it's possible (however unlikely) that it was the other way around. Does anyone know the German release date and/or the US mono release date?
German release date was Feb. 9th 1978.
It's also possible that this mix, while substantially similar to the mono mix in content, could be in stereo. Unfortunately, the left channel from my cpu got disconnected and it's a nightmare to get to it so I can't tell from the sample. Vigo?

The mix is definately in stereo. It is still present in the German 5.1 mix from 1997. Even the 5.1 mix from the 2004 SE keeps all the soundeffects from the mono mix, but the musical cue was removed.
