Any other suggestions?
I'm not sure what you are doing, but if you only want to play music, I'd use Ogg Vorbis instead, which has a decoder that only uses integer arithmetic for exactly the case of FPU-less machines and the Au1200. I could also imagine an MP3 decoder written for integer only being written somewhere, but I don't know anything about it.
mpg123 had a version of the libs for OS-9 that used integer ops only. It
was in contributions and not the mainline and I don't know how difficult
it would be to get it running on Linux. It's a dead project now anyway.
