[Asterisk-Users] mpg123 or asterisk

[Steve Totaro]

Please let us know your results.  I cannot really test this in 
production system since it is a $16,000/hr call center.  I was using 
madplay but it was crashing and creating zombie processes, I figured 
native was not the way to go since all of the different audio streams.  
Mpg123 works perfectly for me under a load of sixty channels, I can 
confirm that for sure.

Thanks,
Steve
