[Asterisk-Users] Upgrading asterisk yields broken pipe

[jimmy.gatt at zivva.com]

Hello list,

I am attempting to upgrade asterisk on a production box.  I have opted to set 
INSTALL_PREFIX to /usr/local/asterisk-0.7.2 which is ugly (since it 
makes /usr, /var, /etc directories in there), but I didn't want the new install 
to overwrite my existing installation.

The new asterisk runs, but when a call tries to go through, I get six 
of "Ouch ... error while writing audio data: : Broken pipe" errors, and then a 
segfault.  Reading elsewhere, I have discovered that the error is coming from 
mpg123.  The process table yields 6 mpg123 processes which appear to be playing 
the on hold music ("onhold_low.mp3", "onhold_high.mp3", etc.)  Presently, I 
don't know where to go.

1. I am trying to test a new compile of asterisk while retaining the ability to 
revert to the old compilation.  Am I going about it the right way (by setting 
the INSTALL_PREFIX to a different dir)?

2. If the answer to #1 is "yes", then what might be the problem with mpg123?
