Such absolute domination of Z80 is not really the case any more - a lot of Chinese media players (especially those with more processing power requirements; like, when needed for emulation, or software decoding of various media formats) come with RockChip SoCs. And that's ARM.

I suppose in the simplest devices Z80 is still a fairly safe bet - like in S1 MP3 players: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S1_MP3_player
