Alex,

I recommend dropping mpg123 for native music-on-hold.  There are 
multiple benefits to this, including avoiding all of the problems 
related to mpg123.

Searching this list for mpg123 will yield a lot of useful results.  
Here's one, along with a link to AstRecipes documenting music-on-hold 
without mpg123.
