It's already doable.  One of the apps I'll be adding to Dynapad,
probably pretty soon (after I get some OK PIM apps done) is an MP3
player.  I suppose Ogg could be doable.  In the PalmOS, PDAs are quite
low-powered, but you can get a 5 GB PCMCIA drive, the same in the iPod,
and use it with a Newton 2x00 or a WinCE PDA.  That's one of the things
I use my iPAQ, and soon my Jornada 720, for- it's a lot better than
buying a seperate mp3 player, and sure beats carrying around my CD
player in addition to the PDA. Sound quality isn't bad either, being
mp3s and all.  Heck, on a Newton or iPAQ with the double PCMCIA sleeve,
you could get 10 GB of MP3s, using two 5 GB Toshiba PCMCIA drives! :)
And on WinCE at least, it  could be done all in Squeak.
