I very much doubt MP3 playing is going to work without an FPU. The
2300SX specifications are badly mangled by the website but appear to
suggest that it needs 5V@3A - this is not especially low power and
you should be able to find alternatives. Check out www.pcengines.ch
and www.ewayco.com [I haven't used either of these manufacturers but
have found them in searches].

FreeBSD used to support both MATH_EMULATE and GPL_MATH_EMULATE. Support
was removed in July 2003 but the bits are still in the CVS repository.
I don't know how much effort would be involved in resurrecting it.

Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement
an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
