The net-misc/asterisk ebuilds in Portage have an explicit dependency on media-sound/mpg123. media- sound/mpg321 is a drop-in replacement for this package, which is why we have virtual/mpg123. If we change the dependency in the asterisk ebuilds to virtual/mpg123 people who already have mpg321 installed will not be forced to install mpg123. mpg123 users will be unaffected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.unmerge mpg123, if necessary 2.emerge mpg321 3.emerge asterisk Actual Results: The asterisk ebuild pulls in mpg123 Expected Results: mpg123 should not be installed if a virtual/mpg123 package already is.

mpg321 isn't a full drop-in replacement, it lacks several features that are needed by asterisk: - switch for mono-only playback - downsampling to 8000Hz Without these it's impossible to use it with asterisk, so the dependency is valid.
