The obvious answer is because Vegas doesn't know how to decode the audio in the file. Do you know what format the audio is in?

Gspot tells me that the Audio codec is MPEG-1 Layer 2, codec is installed.

The video is MPEG2, codec installed.

Vegas is picking up a few sound bites here and there, but the majority of the audio track is silent.

The only thing I can think off off the top would be to download a trial version of DVD Lab Pro from www.mediachance.com - attempt to import the MPG file into DLP, it will ask you if you want to demux it - say yes, I think after it demuxes it will ask you if you want to convert the audio to WAV - say yes. Then see what the WAV file looks like in Vegas.

1st, is the audio in the mpg file any good?

I haven't seen Vegas or DVDA flatline an audio track they couldn't decode, but that's not to say it wouldn't happen... If the audio is good, might demux and see if you can convert it elsewhere to wav. If you need an audio program might try one of the Sony Media trials or download Audacity. Might even get away with just re-writing or saving the file if it has, was written with an error

Might also open the file in VirtualDub & see what you can find out... V/Dub users are prone to try VBR MP3 and other maybe not quite standard formats, so it does a fair job of at least telling you what's going on, even when it can't handle it.
