just curious; i didnt think it was the expected behavior and wanted to 
fix it.

It actually appears that the child mpg123 does do something, and the 
parent is in a continuous loop making sure the child is alive.

So for the archives, i suppose asterisk spawns these off once so that it 
can be used as a single source for all channels, rather than spawning 
off one mpg123 for each channel.
