- It should be .brstmspm because that's what works with vgmstream.
GENH is used when the stream files themselves don't contain all the information needed to decode them. This information is elsewhere, either in a table in some other file or hard coded into the decoder somehow, or maybe (as in the Super Paper Mario case) the information is there but incorrect.
Earlier there were various hacks to solve this, generally involving renaming the files with a particular extension that helped the player to decide what to do (stuff like the .I400 extension), or mashing in the header information from elsewhere into a combined file (like .zwdsp).
GENH is meant to be a standard way of storing the common metadata needed to decode the stream. If there must be a hack then we might as well embrace the artificiality of it and make a unified format that can be applied to various codecs and systems.
Conveniently enough there is a thread on it here.

- I finally got around to making a brstm creator, which I have entitled Revolution B. You can find it and some details on the ripping tools page.
Before using it to replace a brstm in a game, it is important that you attempt to extract dsp from an existing brstm, so that revb can do some checking. If it fails (won't say "Done!" when finished) do let me know so I can add support for whatever the oddity is.
Typical usage would look like this:
brstm --build song.brstm songL.dsp songR.dsp
That should be suitable to generate a brstm for Super Smash Bros Brawl.
Currently revb doesn't fill in the ADPC table, which I think is used for seeking. I don't think it is used for looping, though, and I don't see any reason why seeking would be done, so it probably isn't important. If something seems odd I may have to fix this.

- I second that love, though I won't be using that tool. You have earned it through many other ways though. Mostly non-sexual. :)

- I was off messing with PS2 games and you do this!
Awesome, I'll let you know how it goes!

- oppo noticed an issue, though not quite my fault, Nintendo's brstm driver appears to only be able to seek to a loop start at the beginning of a block. For Brawl this works out to 14336 samples.
