I'm asking because I now can make such a hack as well, but will it change anything?
Unless you can also fix the audio emulation, there's no need to. I can just as well use PCSX-rr instead of PSXjin for testruns for the moment.

Is it a plugin problem, what's exactly wrong?
It's not a plugin problem, as far as I know - every audio plugin I tried has the same behavior.
Basically, the background music channels (radio, and ambient sound when on foot) are messed up in multiple ways:
In stages 1 and 3, instead of ambient sound, the game starts playing the second part of the first radio track (which is twice as long as the others, and presumably split into two parts).
In stage 2, instead of above, there's no background track at all at the start. In addition, the tracks don't start playing until you first enter a car, so you'll always hear the radio tracks start right from the beginning when you first enter a car.
Radio doesn't stop playing when you exit a car (it should play the ambient track instead).
The mono music channels (low quality gang channels when you're far away from them, and the cop car track) are played as stereo channels and overlap each other. If you enter a cop car, you'll hear the cop car track on one stereo channel and the low quality Futuro FM radio track on the other channel. Similarly, if you have another gang's radio channel on and go to the other side of the map (where the track becomes low quality) you'll have two radio tracks playing at the same time.
The latter issue is especially annoying as it sound really terrible to hear one radio track through one ear and another through another at the same time.
