I have implemented memory exceptions correctly in the patch. I will be committing it in the next few days, provided that it passes testing with no problems. Fingers crossed.
The bolded stuff there relates to exceptions on the dsp itself.
A few things I may feel that would be of use..
Sometimes at the end of the sound track when the music is getting ready to loop again, there will be the annoying buzzing sound, usually the music will fade into silence or just stop abruptly. When the music does stop it's almost always at the end of the soundtrack when the music should loop again, but doesn't. If you die after the music stops, there will be this really annoying high pitch sound until you collect the star or transition to another area.
My guess is that the audio isn't buffering properly and the loop isn't being properly reset. At the end of each loop, the loop should restart at the correct Loop Start Position, at some point this is breaking and the music stops playing. There needs to be a better solution for looping AFC audio/music and the current hack is buggy and broken.
One thing I am having difficulty understanding is that sometimes the music will loop longer than other times, the music will just stop at random and is never consecutive with when it stops looping. With a little debugging I'm sure it can be found what line or lines of code are causing the music to break. I just hope the information provided so far is useful to the developers in some way.
Bleh, I think I linked to this before, I think neXus, Torin, Dolphin developers might actually be able to put the information in this wiki entry to use:

do i still need to use this fix?
how do you apply this patch?... i am plying ztp an find really annoying the lack of music :/
This patch already exists in recent svn builds, for about the past 500 - 1000 revisions or so.
thx a lot
, so background music in Zelda Twilight is working ok? because i felt like in some cut scenes was missing :/ maybe its just me
Not yet, all the patch does is prevent the sound from dying completely. There are still music looping issues that have yet to be solved that are due to an improper implementation of the AFC decoder.
Any updates yet regarding the new wip AFC code?
will this fix mario galaxy music too?
