Adam,

I have just done the same thing. Here's a solution for you. Pymad org. code

#!/usr/bin/env python
import mad, ao, sys
mf = mad.MadFile(sys.argv[1])
dev = ao.AudioDevice('oss', rate=mf.samplerate())
while 1:
    buf = mf.read()
    if buf is None:
        break
    dev.play(buf, len(buf))

You need to get the pymad module, libmad mp3 decoder and the ao module. Do 
a google and you will find them all.

Best of luck
