Impressive Reality CoProcessor/RCP Music (Nintendo 64)
The N64 is distinct in that there's no dedicated sound chip or audio ram; audio is handled mainly by the GPU (Reality CoProcessor), but the CPU can also be used. This in itself isn't a huge problem, but since they stuck with cartridges as their game medium, Nintendo created a quality bottleneck for themselves here which developers had to be clever to work around. Click the image for a link to the wikipedia info page.
You can find a list of games with surround sound support here.
I currently don't know how to check when a game uses streaming audio or sequenced music and there are few OST rips (.usf), but will update the list when I do. When there's a vocal track playing with live instruments and in mono and/or noticeable compression, it's probably streamed.
