[Asterisk-Users] mpg123

[Vasyl Rublyov]

Brain,

I believe that space on the disk become very cheap, as well as computer 
memory, so it does not make any sense to have decoding mpegs in the 
memory, consuming cpu cycles for this.... let save a little for codecs 
and echo cancellation :-)

Anyway - thanks for good points - I will upgrade mpg123 on my systems, 
as well as use "quitetmp3nb". Does it enough to serve 20-30 calls at once?

Thanks
