It has a ucb1200 chip, which has audio input and output for both modem 
and voice. The voice channel is capable of 44khz mono, so not really 
Hi-fi, but it would work. The downside to this is that the voice output 
of the ucb1200 isn't normally connected to anything. There's a small 
hardware modification involving a few resistors and capacitors that 
fixes this.

There are a few people at least using the Tuxscreen as a car mp3 player 
system. The best place to get more info on the project is usually the 
#tuxscreen channel on irc.openprojects.net
