Description Greg Fitzgerald (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-17 23:47:30 UTC
I have noticed when using mpg123 mp3's are always skipping. Even using -b 2048
under no system load. Just doing simple tasks like changing workspaces can cause
mp3's to skip. I looked into it and found mpg321 to be MUCH better. I have not
been able to make it skip yet. My suggestion is to make mpg321 a virtual. The
synatx is compatible with mpg123 and it installs a symlink from mpg123 ->
mpg321, so any applications depending on mpg123 still work. Other distro's i use
seem to have totally dropped mpg123 in favor of mpg321. Slackware being one of
the distro's that have done it off the top of my head.

This is already done. However, if mpg123 is installed the symlink is not created when mpg321 is installed.
