The mp3-decoding hardware can only play MP3. We cannot make it play other
sound formats.

The mp3-decoding hardware cannot decode OGG. It can be reprogrammed,
but there is too little memory for OGG and we have no documentation on how
to program the MAS' DSP.
Doing the conversion with the CPU is impossible, since a 12MHz SH1 is far too
slow for this daunting task.

Archos Multimedia support!
The Archos Multimedia is a completely different beast. It is an entirely different
architecture, different CPU and upgrading the software is done a completely
different way. We do not wish to venture into this.
Others may do so. We won't.

No. Rockbox needs to support FAT32 since it can only start off a FAT32 partition
(since that is the only way the ROM can load it), and adding support for more
file systems will just take away valuable ram for unnecessary features.
You can partition your Jukebox fine, just make sure the first one is FAT32 and
then make the other ones whatever file system you want. Just don't expect
Rockbox to understand them.

It would be a very slow operation that would drain the batteries and take a lot
of useful ram for something that is much better and faster done when
connected to a host computer.

We can't access the audio waveform from the MP3 decoder so we can't
analyse it. Even if we had access to it, the CPU would probably be too slow to
perform the analysis anyway.
