I don't see why this would be a problem seeing how much time is spent
"waiting" when playing back samples.  All the playback routine does is load
a byte of data and store it to left ouput, then do the same for right.
Nothing fancy.  Nick Johnson has an Orch-90 stereo player (his own format
though) that plays 4-bit sounds (L/R stored in one byte) and it sounds
decent, even though it does shifts, etc., during playback to split the byte
into two 4-bit sound nibbles.

So, it should be doable.  I'll see what I can come up with.
