Are you using a high speed sd(hc) card that is formatted with a 64KB cluster size? Most no brand sd(hc) cards have a poor read write speed. Due to that, the system might not be able to read the audio stream fast enough, creating the poor sound performance. R168 has the audio enabled, which means that R167 would give you no audio at all for those games that need it enabled. All other existing methods to play gc backups seem to have problems with audio streaming as well. (As far as I am reading, I haven't tested it myself yet.) SD(HC) cards normally have a class mark on them. It's a number written in a C. The normal low speed cards are class2. They even sell class 10 cards. Problem is, the higher the class the more expensive the card. For normal purpose like an mp3 player or a digital camera, the speed isn't very important. It will take longer to transfer your music or your pictures, but who will know that it can be faster with a better card.
The devkitarm R24 was needed to compile the older versions of neek due to some behavour of the newer one that changed the way parameters are passed between functions. Crediar fixed the problem by casting some of these parameters (I believe that's what it's called) The newer compiler optimises code better than the older one, so in fact, you might even not be able anymore to compile everything with the old compiler.

Why do these things rely on SNEEK?
AND TINY SD CARDS!?!
sneek emulates the wii nand, and the di module redirects the requests that normally go to the dvd drive, and gets it's data from the usb drive or sd card. For some reason I don't have the details either, usb becomes unusable when the wii is switched into gc compatibility mode. Because of that, only SD remains. Sneek gets it's emulated nand from sd, and di was adapted to get the gc game code from sd as well.
As the situation is now, dml is no longer work in progress. Crediar has released what he has as a proof of concept, and has stated that he doesn't has time to work on it any further. Unless he is willing to share his sources, nobody else can work on it either.
