Given the correct plugins and determination, octal could well become an
Mp3 "system", although inclusion in an embedded device could become
costly. Certainly if you were considering _selling_ the device.
Also, AFAIK the GNU project prefers to avoid Mp3 (for various licensing
reasons), and therefore implementation of Mp3 seems unlikely. Of
course, someone probably _could_ write the plugins, but they would not
be a part of the main project. A more likely file format (and higher
quality, lower size, et c.) would be Ogg Vorbis, that the GNU project
has been in support of for quite a while (see http://www.vorbis.com/
and http://www.xiph.org/).
And lastly, as I understand that is not the point of the Octal
project. Octal is more of a music synthesis metamachine or a mixing
subsystem. But the core is already in place (Although it looks like
David wants to overhaul the engine into Objective-C to make traditional
C-ites (I mean traditional ~ites not C~) like myself confused.), so if
you want to make this system, read the API docs and code it. No
guarantees you'll get it done by next year though.
For a definite answer, you'll have to wait for David's response, of
course.

Hi
I am very new to Octal. I'd like to know whether you can make octal
a MP3 system and include it in an embedded system (with linux as the
core system)
