Someone posted just a couple of weeks ago that format_mp3 from
the addons has not been ported to all versions of asterisk.

I too was having problems with mpg123, tried to use format_mp3
on v1.0.3, compiles ok, but didn't work.

So this last weekend installed "madplay" and using the "custom"
setting bypassing mpg123 all together.

So far, a couple of days in production and no problems.
Still early, but so far happy with it.

Was averaging about one runaway mpg123 process per week.
