Possibly.  But the cost is considerable, in both CPU utilization 
(encoding/decoding MP3 is about 100 times more CPU intensive, leading to a 
significant decrease in the amount of simultaneous IVR users per system) and 
patent fees for MP3.  The patent landscape on MP3 has made it practically 
impossible to include built-in MP3 support in FOSS projects.
