This is a usual question. Although you could configure the USB port in 
host mode. It would be unpowered.
So there is no real good way to add external hardware.

How about a dedicated radio box with separate batteries and remote 
control and sound via Bluetooth.
Bluetooth has a audio profile, and adding a simple control port sounds 
not too impressive to me.
