Give me an example in which case current PSG envelopes behaviour could be useful.

Should warn everyone who uses PSG: I'm going to change PSG envelope behaviour. Currently it works like FM envelope, never resetting output value. It could be useful for FM, but makes only problems for PSG, so I'm going to reset it on a new note in next versions.

These aren't bugs, that's how the effects works in MOD like trackers - you have to repeat the effect or n00 to hold it. You probably expect them to work like in FamiTracker, which has uncommon behaviour. The only effect that works a bit similar to FT in VGM MM is arpeggio, but unlike FT it stops with a new note. All this is explained in docs (god, how many times I said that in just a day...).

One working way to replay music from the editor on the console is found so far (with existing software): export music from the editor into VGM with sample rate 11025 (PCM quality settings in the 'Samples' sheet), and then convert it to a Genesis/MD ROM with Mike-Stamp's VGM_PLAY v2.00.

Generally, public domain music is one that composed and recorded and digitized a really long ago, like 100 years or more - i.e. one with all the related rights expired (includes rights of the author, of performers, of people who converted it into modern formats, etc). The only way for modern music to be in PD is when the author is released it into PD. And there is big catch - it is not easy to release anything into PD with modern laws. I.e. you only can say you released it into PD, and don't take any legal actions after this - but from legal point of view it does not mean anything, and your work is still copyrighted. If there are organizations in a country that has rights to protect others copyrights without asking them (that's crazy, but there are such organizations in some countries), they can make you some headache. In some countries there is just no way to change legal status of a work into PD at all. In US, you need to take special actions to legally release a work into PD, which includes paper work and paying a fee (like $20) for processing the papers, so I highly doubt anyone care to do that.

So, CC-BY is one is the best available ways to get and use some free music.
