You can use an extraction tool to extract info files to the standard pool/proj/sdir/song files, then use amuse to play and convert the files between MuseX song format and MIDI. musyx-extract can extract and reinsert GameCube DSP samples from sdir/samp files.

I'm not sure if re-converting the files from the original Dreamcast files will fix the audio problems, however, as the game may be using the MuseX audio library incorrectly relating to sound effects.

You can use the scripts located here to convert the MLT audio files on the original Dreamcast version to DSF: http://snesmusic.org/hoot/kingshriek/ssf/
The sound driver is BONITO.DRV. I'm not aware of any Manatee/Sound Lib 2 sound format converters to MIDI or other sequenced format.

Lore, not important to thread: (Show Spoiler)

When i was a child, i had this game's demo on Dreamcast and was fascinated, i actually played what was included on the demo multiple times, also watched the 2 intros (the second one appears after you don't press Start and just wait) multiple times.
I'm not sure how to describe this, maybe i was just too shy; but i never liked asking my parents or rather it wasn't encouraged enough by my parents to ask them for stuff. I assume even back then i knew myself, there was other games/stuff to keep myself busy with. That's why i never got the complete version of the game.
Soon my parents bought a Playstation 2, so i ended up mostly forgetting about Skies of Arcadia, i completely forgot the name of the game, but the visuals, characters, navigating a flying pirate ship stuck with me all this time, especially fighting in some type of ruin, maybe it was Shrine Island (i think the was some type of Golem boss at the end, or i imagined it to be, because i never made it that far, since the demo ended around there)

Ever since then it had always been a dream in the back of my mind to someday play the real deal. Just by coincidence i stumbled upon the Name of the game, i think actually this was the second time, but the first time, the idiot that i am didn't write it down, this time i did though, now here i am as destined to be  .

• after i select a file to load in menu, right before i actually load into the actual "game", initially
• before some cutscenes

Problem:
happens in chronological order

Also happens; 

• after i select a file to load in menu, right before i actually load into the actual "game", initially
  
• before some cut-scenes
  
  

Essentially when i talk to Vyse's Mom (the 2nd time after arriving in Windmill Island initially, the first time you talk to her she just says that she needs more time to prepare dinner and Aika comes back from making her hair or whatever how should i know? ) the Screen turns green and pink for a second before she starts her dialog and then for a second time after the dialog is over. I imagine this will happen every time i talk to a NPC that has like a "special" dialog interacting with the camera or so.

Every other NPC in the village that just turns their head when you talk to them is completely fine.

EDIT: I managed to fix my issue, apparently, this was caused by having "Defer EFB Copies to RAM" enabled, so simply disabling it was just enough!
