mp3 is more cpu intensive than needed for the medium you are working in.
Basically when you know the frequency range and the sample size and
sample rate, you can drop quite a bit of information from the stream
without it ever being missed. Then you can compress. 

Of course if you are playing the whole file and not going to allow some
DTMF interruption other than #, you can use 
"exec mp3play /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/03"
