Hope you're kidding.

Not only is MP3 playing *very* mathematically complex, but it requires
heavy access to audio playing, which is rather difficult.

I suppose a NumPy-based MP3 decoder would be possible, but after that we'd
want to pipe the output to something like a WAV player, not play it ourself.
