Not quite. This also gives an aggregate limit of 512 kbit/s for all mp3
downloads.

If your goal is to only limit the individual stations to 256 kbit/s, but
allow two stations together to use more then use

delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 -1/-1 32000/64000

Personally I would probably apply a simiar rule but without the
restriction to mp3 and with a lot larger maximum value. This to limit
the speed of large downloads, but allow normals surfing without
restrictions. I.e. something like:

delay_pools 1
delay_class 1 3
delay_access 1 deny vip-people
delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 -1/-1 32000/2000000
