Summary:                    crash in musiconhold, using external mpg123
Description: 
One of our customers experiences crashes twice a day. No special
circumstances I can see, except they use pretty large mp3 files (up to
200Mb). The mpg123 is the CentOS 5.5 standard one. Backtrace attached.

A test setup is currently being readied for this problem. I'll report back
later.

About the mp3 problem, this now also shows up at a customer (radio
station) that uses their own mp3 stream as music on hold. They are
contemplating using a sound card and connecting that to the sound
equipment, because the mp3 encoding/decoding delay messes up the
synchronisation for callers. ALSA also requires an external application
correct? I'm open to suggestions.
