[Asterisk-Users] Problems Installing MPG123 on a 64 Bit System

[Carlos Alperin]

Can you explain a little more how did you configure the native format_mp3.
This is the problem about FC4 & mpg123 that everyone has trying to install
it.

Thanks,

Carlos Alperin

Not sure what comments you were referring to, but I have native 
format_mp3 for MoH running on all of my production * servers running 
FreeBSD 5.4 with Asterisk CVS HEAD since July 2005. No more runaway 
mpg123 processes, and the mp3 decode quality is great... I've seen up to 
70 simultaneous MoH(8khz 16bit mono mp3) calls with about 80% idle on a 
P4-3Ghz/1Gb ram.
