Its been a long while since I was involved with GBa but I know the
principals of these.

Since you said you used both soundchannels, well those 2 are both used for
stereosounds, one channel for each ear. The trick is to write software which
combines all the sounds so it can fit into one stream, wich is basically
taking the strings of sounddata and adding each variable of each soundsample
in their own seperate new string and then devide it by the number of strings
used.

Background music is usually given in the MOD form, which is taking small
soundsamples and then adapted to new tones through the program and thus
making the music, basically like midi only the samples are not govorned by
the soundchip (or samples in the program itself) but by the samples in the
MOD file.
