Would a module player (.it, .xm, .mod etc.) be possible?

You could try to find a .MOD playback driver/software (source code) for M68K computers. It would be in Assembly and the model of M68K in the Saturn is MC68EC000.
You can modify the sound driver (it's assembly source code is in SBL) and user-access the commands in the sound driver (SBL SND library demonstrates how).
For the DAC access, if you did happen to know Assembly enough to implement the command, you could probably look at any of the sound on commands to figure out how the SCSP does that (in the driver).

Otherwise, you're pretty much stuck with the SH2s encoding a PCM source from modules that the SCSP plays back.

I can't find any official audio tools that are available on Windows, let alone wine on Ubuntu.

Yep, they are all 68K Mac tools. You can use the Basilisk II emulator to run them, but they are only partially functional.

How do I emulate the sound board? I know it's possible because a person made interaction between GEMS in DOSbox and Gens before. Can we do the same with Yabause and Basilisk II?
