Well as far as MP3 playback goes, they'll probably include a memory stick slot, which would also be used for saving game progress. Of course that means you assimilate to the memory stick, but that's not their problem is it?
For 7.1 sound...well, if you hook it up to your receiver to play MP3's, then you'd want that support I guess. Also, I'm sure that the "current" generation of audio DSP's is up to (or getting close to) 7.1 for commodity ASICs, so why not? Plus it's a marketing Good Thing that you can put a bullet next to on the pamphlet ;)
