The StrongArm processor can already do this with ease, it's not processor
speed that os an issue! To get a good MP3 recording you need to have the
complete "song" already recorded, either on disk or into memory. If I want
to encode a 5 minute song, I already need that 5 minutes of audio recorded
for the encoder to use, regardless of how quick it can do it. If I was
recording at CD quality, I would need 50Mb of storage as a workspace!
