You should convert the MP3 to a native format (ulaw, gsm, wav, etc...) and let 
Asterisk play that with the Read() application. MP3's are not a great method
for
prompts, and are only supported in certain scenarios with Asterisk.

Here is a thread I found while googling that seems to have the information you
need:
