It look's like there might be several separate sound streams at work in the engine, from what I can gather from these.
SS_SoundSet
SSNwave
SSNradio
sound2tgt
wave(Plays any wave file in game directory or pff - overrides pff)
waveready() True if no talking going on
Without delving into territory I've had little experience in, I've worked around it by mostly using chain(#), waveready() and wave("") commands.
To prevent interference with game sounds, you need to time your wave files for it all to work OK but you
can mix both custom and inbuilt audio together.
Maybe you could try a variable controlled loop for the background sound, a ploop for sounds at the player like custom messages etc. and normal waveready() commands for pff game effects and speech.
