The PI has various bits of hardware video acceleration so its actually
ideal for that bit. JPEG is easy for anything with a bit of memory and
CPU power. MP3/OGG/FLAC etc shouldn't really stretch it much.
PDF might be a bit more of a challenge, you can't stream PDF and it can
use a lot of compute power to process a document.
