[Asterisk-Users] mpg123 or asterisk

I don't know as I never experienced any system crashes with either.  But
I did notice many times that mpg123 was still running after asterisk had
been shutdown.

Can MAD crash a server like mpg123 can?

Can't you use mpg123 as compiled under x86_32?  I do on a few servers I
have.  I found madplay better process wise than mpg123.

Well, being unable to compile mpg123 under x86_64 i installed lame and
transformed the mp3-->wav-->raw.
and using "files" as the format player.

Are there any good scripts to stress test MoH?
I want to test this machine for 1000 "calls" on hold.

AsterTest is good but i dont have access to another * installation.
