sfplay~object does not support MP3

I would like to ask if we could include MP3 playback with the sfplay object?

Yes it would be great !
importing a mp3 in a buffer~ takes a while and it feels weird to use jit.qt.movie and spigot~ to read an audio file...

Also for sfrecord, I would like to see a save as MP3 too. Please

I don't know the ins and outs of this, but I imagine the immediate-play capabilities of sfplay~ would be compromised a bit with the decompression... also to save as mp3, possibly there could be licensing/patent issues, the latest formats are still under patent. But this is all conjecture, and I'd love to see it supported too, if it's possible!
