If you only play music, I'm sure it will play as smooth as silk. I do this with my Spotify client and it works well even with the added work of having to decrypt and unpack the music.

But, it will stutter once if the screen is dimmed or woken up. This is due to the change in CPU frequency.

I'm not sure about the whole overclocking thing due to battery issues !
There is a very informative (and long) thread about overclocking. There is also at least two about battery time in connection with overclocking. Have a look around and see what people are reporting.

Nokia must do something to fix this, either switch from Pulse Audio to something else, or try to optify the whole media player !
To optify something is to make sure that it stores it resources under /opt and not in the root file system. This will not change how much CPU an application uses.
