George Joseph commented on ASTERISK-29635:
------------------------------------------

The module you're having difficulty with is in 'extended' support status and is supported only by community members.  Your issue is in the queue. Your patience is appreciated as a community developer may work the issue when time and resources become available.

Asterisk is an open source project and community members work the issues on a voluntary basis. You are welcome to develop your own patches and submit them to the project.[1]

If you are not a programmer and you are in a hurry to see a patch provided then you might try rallying support on the Asterisk users mailing list or forums.[2] Another alternative is offering a bug bounty on the asterisk-dev mailing list.[3] Often a little incentive can go a long way.

>                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-29635
>             Project: Asterisk
>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: None
>          Components: Applications/app_mp3
>    Affects Versions: 18.6.0
>         Environment: Debian 11
> Tested with distribution packages for mpg123 and current version 1.29 
>            Reporter: Carlos Oliva
>            Assignee: Unassigned
>
> Trying to reproduce MP3 files with MP3Player, we only hear noise on calls.
> We tested with 18.6 and older versions, and the problem remains the same when using Debian bullseye
> We discovered that actual versions of mpg123, using the same parameters that you use in your code, send more data than older versions. If you send the out data to a file, older versions creates files of half size than new versions.
> Parameters in our exection of MP3Player are:
> ["mpg123", "-q", "-s", "-b", "96", "-f", "8192", "--mono", "-r", "8000", "http://........"]
> Probably the parameters needed changed between old and actual versions of mpg123 to get the old behavior.
> We rolled back to ancient version 1.20.1 of MPG123 and everything works without need of patching asterisk, but I assume Asterisk should work with actual versions of mpg123.
