[Asterisk-Users] mpg123

You only use 1 process.. its a pipe so you dont burn cpu for every single call.

  Brain,

  I believe that space on the disk become very cheap, as well as computer memory, so it does not make any sense to have decoding mpegs in the memory, consuming cpu cycles for this.... let save a little for codecs and echo cancellation :-) 

  Anyway - thanks for good points - I will upgrade mpg123 on my systems, as well as use "quitetmp3nb". Does it enough to serve 20-30 calls at once?

  Thanks

If you stop and realize that mpg123 will not decode when the stream isn't
being used.  So you are only burning CPU when someone is listening to the
stream.  In addition if you use mpg123 0.59r you will never have one ounce
of problems with it.  Download and compile that version from src (and yes
the version on the website is patched but you aren't using http to stream)

Also if you use "quietmp3nb" you will see only *one* mpg123 per music on
hold class.

I don't see one thing that's crappy about the current music on hold setup.
