I've tried madplay also. To my ear, it's mp3 decode quality was much 
worse than mpg123, sounded like 8bit audio. Also, as the hard disk space 
gets cheaper and cheaper, I don't see a real need to have MOH in mp3, 
except for the convenience compared to decoding them into sln or 
recoding to other formats.
