   Processor for sound decompression

   I'm looking for a processor for a small embedded application. It needs   
   to be fast enough to decode MPEG/Ogg in realtime and simple to   
   interface. It should use as little power as possible, be programmable   
   with readily available tools, and preferably come with EPROM and RAM   
   built in. Even better if it comes with USB.   
      
   A PIC is too small, and a general-purpose processor like an old Pentium   
   probably too hard to interface and possibly also too power-hungry (?). I   
   looked at a couple of ARM processors, but they had only tiny internal   
   memories and no external memory busses (???). AVR seems right out.   
      
   What else is there?
