You don't need any special kernel configuration to play MP3s, but you
certainly need to set some kernel options to get your sound card
working. You said you could play CDs, but are you getting anything
else out of your sound card?

There's an excellent section of the handbook on configuring sound cards
and playing MP3 audio:
