[Asterisk-Users] Re: 1.2b2/mpg123 and memory usage

[Waldo Rubinstein]

Furthermore, I noticed that at one point, I have 11 active channels  
in * in box B and I have 79 mpg123 processes running. It looks like  
after a call is off hold or hung up, the mpg123 process is not  
terminated. Does this make sense?
