One more time for those running RedHat v9 ... ;)

------------------------------------------------

Well... we found the problem. Redhat guys replaced mpg123 for mpg321.
Asterisk only works with original mpg123.

First, shutdown asterisk and kill all mpg process:

killall -9 mpg123

Second, remove the symbolic links mpg123 located in /usr/bin and
/usr/local/bin:
rm /usr/bin/mpg123
rm /usr/local/bin/mpg123        (if exists)

Third, you need to download
http://www.mpg123.de/mpg123/precompiled/mpg123-0.59q-1.i386.rpm
And install using rpm -ivh mpg123-0.59q-1.i386.rpm

Fourth step is:
cp /usr/local/bin/mpg123 /usr/bin/mpg123

Last step (obvioulsy) is start asterisk again.

Thats it. I hope this works.
