I think I know what you're asking; and without some serious low-level coding, there's no way to take soundtracks out of a GBA game (or nearly any other ROM; we're not talking about ISOs) and dummy the music out/to not play. A lot of ROMs have code that references specific memory points, and all of those paths would have to be updated/reconstructed, if the ROM size suddenly dropped, due to missing sound elements.

That's my understanding, at least. If I'm wrong, someone will come along and correct me. :)

I "think" the reason you can do that to DS roms is because they can be extracted into smaller files. A GBA rom is all one file. If you're lucky, you could cut off free space at the end. I remember that there was a file to do that too. Check this:

NDS card ROM images are a header, ARM9 and ARM7 code, a few other misc bits, and a 'real' file system, known in the homebrew community as NitroFAT. The files are stored within real directories with actual file names....so that makes cropping out, say, a large video, so that you can fit the file in less space much easier. (although, if you try to play that video you are probably dead in the water depending on what you replace it with)
