If the plan is to ship the pandora with mp3 playback capabilities, it might be best to reevaluate that idea, as openmoko are currently being sued by sysvel over mp3 patents. (link)

The best thing to do to avoid this problem for the pandora project would probably be to use the same system debian / ubuntu does, to not install mp3 codecs by default, but make them very easy to install through apt. This should avoid the problem (as far as i know).
