Actually, yes they can play MP3 files. I've just got it working by simply passing the path of the MP3 to a VideoPlayer component instance.
Although I wouldn't recommend using a video component to solely play audio files, I agree that it's sometimes appropriate to play a sound file in a video display component. In my case I have a mixed list of audio and video media items and want a unified preview area and playback/scrub controls.

Yeah so do I. Thanks, I hope it works in 4.5 as well, I remember trying after no response here and it didn't work. – Francisc Sep 15 '11 at 11:34

Must be a new 4.5 thing then. I'm using 4.5.1. – timwjohn Sep 15 '11 at 14:01

Yeah, 4.5.1 I meant. I'll give it another go soon. – Francisc Sep 15 '11 at 20:20

Why would you use a video component to play a sound file? Either way, you should probably google before posting here. This is how you do it:
var snd:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("smallSound.mp3"));
snd.play();

I want the controls as well and the video component for the site I need it to play sound is already drawn and all that. SO, can it play MP3 files is still the question. Thanks. – Francisc Apr 12 '11 at 12:45
