The Adventures Of Oswald

I had this cassette as a kid, and I recently retrieved it from my parents' house. I wanted to get it on my PC as a CAS file, so I connected a standard tape deck to my PC to record it as a WAV file, and then I used WAV2CAS to convert it.
I tried running the program in Atari800Win Plus, and at first I was thrilled to see the title screen and hear the introductory music and sound effects... but then it stopped there.
I believe this is because at this point in the game, standard recorded audio begins playing from the cassette. The cassette has a combination of data and standard audio. When the game is playing like a story, there is recorded music and narration on the cassette that corresponds with what is going on onscreen. This audio then pauses when the game switches to an interactive segment, and then starts back up when the segment is completed.
This is all new to me, but it seems to me that this type of cassette can't be converted to a playable file by using WAV2CAS (at least not in the standard way), since the resulting CAS file would only have the data from the cassette and not the standard audio.
Is there a way to convert this type of cassette into a file that can be stored and played on a PC? I appreciate any help you can provide.
