Yes, most ARM cores are fast enough for realtime vorbis decode, and 
implementing a new decoder is a possible post-graduate semester project 
(but not undergraduate, that's a challenging time-frame!)

Note that there already is an open source integer implementation 
(called 'Tremor') which runs well on ARM, so you do have the option
of building a more sophisticated project on top of that if you wish.

We're always happy to see new from-scratch implementations though;
it's about the only way to find bugs in the specification document.

Hope that helps,
