Keep in mind the firmware on that board is not doing the MP3 decoding; the
decoder is actually implemented in a hardware chip:

I don't know whether this board could support a software decoder, but even
if
it can't, I'm still interested in writing a fixed-point Vorbis decoder
to be
able to do something similar.
I never got a response, though, to my previous message... where are the Vorbis
specs?
