On the PC side, I can ALMOST get a Cyrix DRx2-66 (clock doubled 386 + 1k L1 cache) to do real time mp3 decoding and playback, mono, reduced bitrate. A real 486DX-2 66 can play mp3's realtime, but not at crazy high bitrates, DOS only. Based on that, you MIGHT be able to squeeze an MP3 out of a 68030-50 with cache like a Daystar acelerated mac, but doubtful.
You COULD decode the mp3's to wav/au/etc durring off times when you're not actively using the SE and play those back, but they would end up taking up huge tracts of HD per song.
