I think John M McIntosh johnmci@smalltalkconsulting.com did some work on this. But the lisencing issue was a bit complicated.

Ogg Vorbis would be in most respects a better way to attack the issue (the external libraries are available for just about every platform) -- I'm convinced that it's both technically and audibly superior -- but raises (as the "GPL is evil" lobby will point out) other potential licencing issues.
And, of course, the dunderheads who produce discrete Mp3 players all seem hell bent on changing down a blind alley........

The Ogg-Libraries are under a BSD license:
What licensing applies to the included Ogg Vorbis software?
The bundled Ogg Vorbis utility software is released under the terms of the GNU GPL, or GNU General Public License. The details can be found at www.gnu.org.
The libraries and SDKs are released under the more business-friendly BSD license. Please note that developers are still free to use the specification to independently write closed-source implementations of Ogg Vorbis which are not bound by these licenses.

I stand corrected: Ogg is the way to go!

I'm currently actively working on Ogg Vorbis support for squeak. I've gotten the vorbis libraries to compile under the Win32 Squeak compile environment and now just need to write some slang to get the two to talk (I'm going the plugin route rather than the FFI route). I'm planning only on decode support for starters (since that's all I need for my jukebox anyway), but it wouldn't be difficult to add encoding support as well. I'll let everyone know when I have anything that's even alpha quality.
