Do you mean an mpeg?  mp3 is a digital audio format isn't it?

Right.  For creation I'd say 800MHz would be the low end although it is
possible to do that with less but not in real time without serious
degradation of the final product.  For playing it depends on the
frequencies, resolutions, etc.  Of course the high end quality stuff would
require a high speed CPU to get the most out of any digital format.  Same
with streaming high quality audio/visual over a network and there the
network interfaces also come into play.
