First, even thought the ARM9 has MMU-like capacities, nothing is telling us that Apple did implement and kernel-space/user-space separation. So, it can be that crashing an application blow the whole system. Second, if we suppose that Apple had some use of the MMU-like capability of the chip, it can be a buffer-overflow at the DSP driver level... Maybe these mp3 are trying to play strange sounds that are out of the usual frequencies and hit some unplanned side-effect of the driver.
