A nice piece of equipment, to be sure, and good to have those around.
Still, I doubt it would be worth the cost and space to put it on an
(n-gen) Neo; it has a powerful enough general purpose processor, and
while the battery would likely last somewhat longer playing with that
chip, a music decoder chip wouldn't add any new functionality.

(Now, if they'd make a _Theora_ decoder chip... ;P )
