I agree there might be some work to do at some future point when we're trying to import mixed-media works into Wikisource, but I'm afraid for now the sole purpose of ia-upload is to convert IA scans of books into DjVus. MP3s or any other non-text work cannot be converted with this tool. Have you tried using it? Did you notice any problems?
