Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that message from mpg123 itself? It
appears in the binary (via strings), and I've seen it at non-asterisk
times too. AFAIK it comes up whenever the parent application (asterisk
in this case) quits without closing it properly (hence, "broken
pipe").

As such, this means that the above error simply shows that asterisk
crashed (which they presumably already knew), and has nothing to do
with the problem itself...
