I'm not up to speed on GBA but I thought I saw a couple of years back the CPU specs and it doesn't look like a very powerful beast. It's not even nearly as powerful as the PS1/Saturn generation and Vorbis would be a challenge on those. I think the ARM core runs no faster than 16 Mhz, not sure of the exact number though. I recalled hearing that the GBA would need almost all it's power just to play a 16-bit stereo PCM sample. So I'd think Vorbis on GBA would be a pretty tough achievement.
